It’s bound to happen sometime. You must always beware and on your guard because when you least expect it:

Fortunately, no one appeared to be hurt. No one was yelling and screaming either.


I sympathize with these people though….

Whoops!

Hui-chen and I have been busy - busier than usual, even for us! We went on a whirlwind trip to China and Hong Kong for 3 days. I apologize for any inconvenience but there won’t be any Bushman’s Picks this week because of our busy schedule.
Let me show you a couple of photos from our trip. Of course we’re going to do some feature articles later.

We visited a bicycle factory that makes more than 6,000,000 units per year.


And we walked around one of our favorite cities, Hong Kong (photo taken from Kowloon).
Yes, of course we did shopping too.
See you next week!

Hui-chen and I are off in China and Hong Kong on business for a few days. We’ll be back soon with some great photos and stories to tell! In the meantime we’d like to show you some dishes that Hui-chen’s mother cooked during Chinese New Year.

By now, everyone knows that these are the family specialty. Hui-chen makes her own version too, and they are great.

So, what does a blogger/photographer do when he stays in a hotel room on the 11th floor?

What were you thinking?

I just wanted to drop a line to our readers to let them know that we’re taking a short break on the mini park series because of the weather. I’ve shot a few parks in the dreary overcast and those reviews just don’t do the parks justice. Parks look terrible in this weather so we’re going to hold off on any more park reviews until the weather clears up in a few weeks time.

February 29 comes once every 4 years. So, I propose a party at Shao-hui’s!
Hui-chen and I have a visitor coming from the US and he will be here for the 29th. Let’s show him a great time with the legendary company of Taiwan’s bloggers, and the food and drink at Shao-hui’s.
We’ll be there in the early evening so just show up anytime. All are welcome to join us!
Check the Geotagged Articles Map to locate Shao-hui’s.

It was just after 3:00 am when I heard a crash and what sounded like breaking glass. I was asleep of course so I couldn’t be sure what happened, exactly. I distinctly remember the sound of something on the roof maybe? Definitely that sound of something hitting concrete and I swear, sheet metal. I leaped out of bed, flashlight in hand and did a floor-by-floor inspection of our house. I found nothing. I looked outside and I saw a familiar person walking around, smoking (that guy is always smoking). This guy is out and about in his parking lot office at all hours of the morning. He has friends joining him in his office (with blacked-out windows) very late at night. I guess the business of running a parking lot with 7 or 8 customers is so demanding that he has to work late at night to keep up with all that paperwork. I saw another person hurriedly exiting the tall building across the street, carrying a bucket. Mind you, this building is unoccupied and there were no lights on. I’m telling you, there is some kind of funny business going on in my neighborhood.
The following morning I went into our second-floor office and I got a big surprise:
