UPDATE: See the end of this article for photos of the car, cleaned up.

One of our cars was taken from in front of our house, in broad daylight, a week ago today.  We got a call yesterday from the police in Yong An that our car had been recovered.  Hui-chen and I went over to take a look at it, and the first thing we noticed was that one of the turn signal housings was hanging from the wire.

Recently Hui-chen and I were invited by a television production company to participate in a new show they were shooting in Taiwan.  The show stars Bob Blumer and will air in Taiwan on a yet-to-be-determined network.  It’s called “World’s Weirdest Restaurants” and it sounds like a fun show!  The show has been confirmed for the Food Network Canada.  Be sure to look for it!

The shoot took place at the famous Five Dime restaurant in Taipei.  HC and I had gone there before with our camera to take some photos for the blog, so we’ll show you what it looks like and then tell you about meeting Bob and doing the TV show.  It was a blast!

Recently the almost year-long project on the corner near my house was completed.  Now they’re really tearing up the road again and I have no idea what it’s all about this time.

I did see a guy with a metal detector, but I’m unsure about what he was looking for (or even if he found what he was looking for).  In this photo you can see they’re tearing the pavement up.

I’m not sure how to put this, but my father James E. Klein (seen on the left in the above photo) passed away on July 3rd, 2011.  Many of our readers will remember the good times we had with him on our most recent trips to the USA.

Driving around recently, we noticed that some names on highway and road signs have changed:

Take a close look and you’ll see the entire name on the left has an overlay, and “Zhu” on the right is overlaid on the sign.

Saturday night was the first in a series of Open Mic nights at Titty Tea in Jhubei.  I was one of the hosts for the event.  Let us take you through the highlights of the evening:

The event was held upstairs in this beautiful room.

Hui-chen and I just returned to Taiwan from vacation and found that some more work had been done on the road behind our house.  As you may recall last time, the sidewalks had been broken up and removed.  That was back in January.  Now it appears that the sidewalks have been finished.

Notice how holes have been made to fit around the trees.

Hui-chen and I attended the 2010 Taipei Cycle show.  As usual, this article isn’t meant to be complete coverage of the show, but rather an excerpt of stuff that we thought was interesting.

Hui-chen and I went to the TW-Bents warehouse last Friday, and we met with Walter and Kevin.  They had some new stuff to show us.

The main star of the day is this new trike.  It’s a giant of a trike, built for larger, heavier riders.  The main feature of this trike (besides it’s size) is the material it’s constructed of.  This is an all-aluminum trike, and it is very light weight for it’s size.

There is a place that Hui-chen and I frequent in Kaohsiung, and we’d like to tell you about it.  The name is Western Cowboys Pub. You don’t have to be a Western person, or even a cowboy to appreciate this fine place.

This is the owner, Johnson, behind the bar.  Johnson’s knowledge of the finer things in life is impressive.  You can ask him about wine or whiskey, and chances are he’ll have it in stock, too.
