The Last Two Weeks ...

... have been a mishmash of a jaunt abroad, the loss of my camera (and half my pictures), and much work and preoccupation after returning home. So instead of doing a day by day post, I'll just leave you with pictures of my trip to Taipei, Taiwan and Bangkok, Thailand. I hope you've seen the foodie pictures here?

En route to the hotel from Taoyuan Airport, Taipei. Much of Taipei is like this, with clouds touching the mountains, which redeem the city from looking like the concrete jungle it is.


The Grand Hotel, Taipei. It's built in a traditional Chinese style, which Taiwan shares with China.


Taipei 101, the world's biggest skyscraper now

Incredible India in Taipei


:) I don't know who this is - I just noticed him dozing peacefully at the entrance to a building/a parking lot.

Wat Arun, a temple that I visited, Bangkok. I had to take a train and two boats to get here.
