Panera

Doing work at Panera.

Midtown

Subway station outside Radio City.

Baby Chloe

Got a picture of her smiling today!

Holiday Season

My favorite time of the year. 

Pork Chop Dinner

Pork chop, mushrooms and onions, and broccoli for dinner.

Collection

Started the apartment collection a bit late.

3:00 AM

Typical desk at 3:00 in the morning.

Fried Food

Chicken tenders in Taiwan aren't as good.

Cappuccino

I needed coffee to wake me up. 

Creme Brulee

Mmm. Yummy creme brulee for afternoon tea.

Thinker

My uncle at a mountain-side tea place. 

McDonald's Olympics Cups

For an additional 20 NT to every McDonald's meal, you get an Olympics cup. The grad students at NTOU helped me collect all six of them!

OK

OK convenience store in MRT station. 

Reach

In Taiwan, the winner of a dragonboat race is determined by whoever can remove the flag at the finish line first.

Perspective

This is the top-down view of a type of plant with big leaves (I don't remember the name of the plant). With a 50 mm lens it was hard to capture the entire plant, but this turned out pretty interesting.

Caitlyn and Chloe

The two sisters were having so much fun climbing up and down the two steps leading to the back door. I realized that babies and little children like to climb stairs and play on the stairs; maybe it's more interesting than walking or crawling on flat ground.

Beef Skewers

The skewers with beef look even tastier with the orange, red and green peppers.

Cranberry Lemonade

Today was a nice day to open a Mike's Hard while barbecuing in the backyard. The weather was a bit on the hot side, but it was tolerable and pleasant overall. 

Wooden Train

What I do on a Friday night at home. Finally got around to build this wooden train piggy bank I got from Taiwan over winter break. This one was much harder to build than the Ferris wheel I built earlier. I snapped a part off by accident and now it's being held together by crazy glue and binder clips.

Evelyn

This is Evelyn, my two-and-half-year-old niece, frolicking on my front lawn before going out. I look forward to coming home every college break to see her and she greets me with excitement every time I come back. When I'm home I would play with her and keep her company, and the house gets much noisier than when it's just Evelyn. Now that Evelyn can talk more, and maintain simple, logical conversations, it's even more fun playing with her and teasing her. She's so cute!
