Our 2008 US Trip, Part One
Photos by MJ Klein Caution: Food Photos!
As most of you know by now, Hui-chen and I went back to the USA for about 3 weeks. The reason for this trip will become apparent in future parts of this series. In Part One, I want to introduce you to a few people and places.
Made It To Osaka….
What an absolutely abhorrent and grueling trip from Detroit to Osaka! Northwest had the gall to put me in a main row seat instead of the aisle as I always request. I’ve flown with them for almost 200,000 miles since 2002 and I’ve been an Elite member flyer for the majority of that time. This flight was so annoying, especially because of the woman beside me (not Hui-chen!) who kept the damn light on for most of the trip. I’m used to being in an aisle seat with Hui-chen on the other side. I’m too big to be sandwiched between 2 people. Plus, as soon as we hit cruising altitude the person in front of me pushed her seat back for the entire time, pinning my knees very well in the process. We are so looking forward to getting back home to Taiwan! The flight boards for Taipei in about an hour.

Snake On A Lake

We took Dad out on Belews Lake on a pontoon boat. It was a great day and everyone had a wonderful time on the calm waters of the lake. We were going along at a relatively slow speed and came across this snake swimming at a surprisingly high speed:
I was using my new Glidecam Pro 2000 with the body pod and managed to get some video too.

My brother was goofing around in my sister’s swimming pool, and I just happened to have my video camera with me. The following is what I shot. Please note that this is the first publicly released movie that I shot using the new Glidecam Pro 2000. Clearly I need a great deal more practice using it! Enjoy the movie!
Experimental Cooking

While here in the US I was itching to try some cooking experiments that hopefully would lead to a new dish (for me). I love cooking and recipe sites, but when I am experimenting I like to try things on my own instead of downloading a recipe from someone else. This kind of cooking is different than trying to cook something already known. Here is a photograph of the pre-cooked experiment:
Pictured above is a whole chicken that I’ve coated. The main ingredient of this dish is peanut butter.
Road Trip: Part II - Even More Cabela’s!

I never expected to get so many comments about Cabela’s but we sure did. The fact is, Hui-chen and I didn’t get enough of the place so we went back there on our way out of town!
Road Trip: Part I - Cabela’s

Hui-chen and I rented a red Dodge Charger in North Carolina and headed to the panhandle area of West Virginia. We had a meeting with a customer and then headed to my favorite destination: Cabela’s!
Trip To Dongpu

Recently Hui-chen and I took a trip to Dongpu. I posted all the photos on flickr, but I haven’t had time to blog on the trip yet. We had a great time, driving through mountains shrouded in mist. I’ll get to this article and I’ll update it as soon as I can. Hui-chen and I are really tied up with our trip to the US to visit my ailing father. Thanks for your understanding!
