This was back on December 7th. I went with my new girlfriend, Judy, Doug, and his girlfriend, Joyce, to Jinguashi and Jiufen. These are a couple of old mining towns on the northeast coast of Taiwan about an hour from Taipei. Jinguashi is known for the Huangjin Pubu (Golden Waterfall) and Jiufen is famous for it's traditional teahouses. Also, the views of the mountains and coast from both places and in between are amazing.
We went to Jinguashi first and visited the coast, the Huangjin Pubu, and the Gold Ecological Park. Then, we tackled the shops of Jiufen and relaxed the evening away in a teahouse sipping on some great cha. I even made a special Jiefu Cha. Chao hao chu! (Very delicious!)
Be sure to check out my Picasa site for all the wonderful pictures.
And yes, I very casually mentioned that I have a new girlfriend. Her name is Judy. I met her through my friend Bevis at Roxy 99 a while back. After hanging out with the group a few times, I worked up the courage to ask her out, she shockingly said yes, and we've been together ever since.
Good talk. See you out there.

I'm not sure how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me.
