Last weekend Hui-chen and I went to a very nice place in the Jian Shi area of Taiwan.  We wanted to show you what it was like to be there before we get into our next installment of our US trip.  We’ll let the photos do the talking.

Part of the 2010 USA Trip Series

Dear Readers, we took a fantastic trip up to the top of Mount Washington on the Cog Railway.  We have over 100 photos to show you in this article, so get ready to go along with us as we head up the mountain!

New England: Back to New Hampshire

Not far up Route 302 from the Mount Washington hotel is the road that leads to the Cog Railway.  I won’t bore you with too many historical facts about it.  You may click on the link and read about it on Wikipedia if you like.  If you’re in the Mt. Washington area, it’s worth the trip up to the top of the mountain via “the cog.”

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.

August Road Work

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

The Road Behind Our House

Some time ago, we brought you a series on the re-engineering of a large road near our home.  Continuing with that series, we’re now going to take a look at the road that runs behind our house.

The Road Behind Our House

This is a shot of the sidewalk, or at least, where the sidewalk used to be (referred to as “pavement” in the UK).  A few days ago, jackhammering began and ran into the night.  The next day, the sidewalk was broken up. A day later, the broken pieces were all removed, and since then it’s been as you see it here.

Road Work, Part VI

By the looks of things, this will probably be the last article on the recent makeover in our neighborhood.  If anything else happens I’ll write another article about it and amend it to the series for your convenience.

Road Work, Part VI

The way these cars are parked illustrates how much easier it is to park your car for lunch at our local food outlets.  Notice the road has been patched and all traces of the transformers that were in the road have now been cleared.  This was done over the weekend but rain in our area prevented me from going out and getting photos.

Road Work, Part IV

This morning, the road crew was back, hard a work to fix up the road.  I took a few shots from my 4th floor balcony and then went down to the road later to check things out.

Road Work, Part IV

In our first shot of the day, we see the asphalt truck (yellow) in the center of the frame, waiting for the little blue mini-dozer to course-grade the asphalt.   The asphalt truck laid down some asphalt and the smaller mini-dozer is smoothing it out (grading) before the actual paving machine comes by.

More work has been done on the main road in our neighborhood.

This is a shot from across the street from Shao-hui’s restaurant.  This shot shows the step-down transformers on the old pad at the (now demolished) traffic island, and the new pad to where they will be moved soon (yellow and black stripes).

Road Work, Part II

Well, as you can see, the rubble is gone now.  So are any traces of the trees that once lined this street.  Now I think our neighborhood looks like everywhere else in Taiwan.

Recently, the county of Hsinchu has been modifying the main road near our home.  This is the road where the famous Shao-hui’s restaurant is located.  The road has 2 traffic islands and the county has decided to take those islands out.

Road Work

I was awakened by the sound of jack hammering.  A bucket machine had a hammer attachment and was breaking up the traffic islands.

Hui-chen and I were out the other day, with one of our longtime suppliers and friends.  We came upon this very old tree in the Taichung area:

The Giant Tree This incredible giant camphor tree was made into a park to appreciate it.
