Taipei Night Markets Yum Yum Yum

On my recent trip to Taipei, I visited some very handsome night markets. I spent about 10 days around Taipei and ate in night markets almost every day. There is great variety with all kinds of Chinese food, some Japanese, and I even found a Burmese Night Market.

One of my favorite night market foods isn't shown here. It was an oyster omelet with a somewhat sweet sauce. Does anybody know the name of it? It was available at most night markets.


Here is a video of me eating Stinky Tofu which is referenced in the above video.

Taiwanese Hotsprings

I visited Beitou hotsprings about 45 minutes train ride from Taipei. It kind of makes you feel like you are in Japan, but it's just a little bit different.

In the video below you can see a trip I made to Chichibu Onsen in Chichibu city of Saitama, Japan (about 2 hours from Tokyo).

Ken Tanaka, Takeo and Red Ewing

Takeo Kun directed a commercial parody of Onstar with Red Ewing from the CBS TV show Happy Family. He plays the character Dylan and he is a very nice man.

Here is Takeo and REd's parody.




Here is the video that Mr. Red Ewing made called traffic Jam. It's a very handsome video directed by Tammy Hirata.

Is it me?

A youtube viewer sent me this photo last week saying that it looks like me, but I don't remember ever posing for this portrait. It might have happened last week when they put me to sleep for my epidural...
Do you think it looks like me?

Taiwan and Ekiben

Last summer I visited Taiwan. I stayed with a friend I met through YouTube in Taipei and visited many nearby towns. A few hours by train from taipei is Fulong which is known for it's waves and surf break, and also for ekiben. Ekiben is the Japanese word for a bento sold in train stations (eki) Japaense ekiben can be good but they generally have a very processed, factory made flavor and lots of preservatives. The Taiwanese ekiben has a more home cooked flavor and was very yummy.


I spent 10 days in Taiwan and will have a few more videos about my trip coming soon.
