My Birthday in Taipei

Some people don't like to celebrate their birthday, but I have always been into it. You know, just another excuse to get everyone together and have fun. At lunch, we got together at a wonderful teahouse on Shida Rd. Here you can see several American acupuncturists living in Taipei. My friend Apple, who teaches Mandarin and English, is not an acupuncturist, but since she brought a cake, I let her come. Also, at right is the honorable Sean from Guam who speaks many languages and, as an extra bonus, is a great guy.


In the evening, I had another party at a lounge bar called Shaka. I love Shaka. Here, my friend Stefan joins Melody and Ping for the camera.








Emmy is a wise woman who always reminds me to be happy in this moment. Here we are practicing what she preaches.








Michael and Shu Fang joined us in the evening, showing us that marital bliss is possible.
