Amazing TR, iluvdoco. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us, as it looks like you had an amazing trip! The picture quality is amazing and I appreciate all the effort you put into this TR. A real treat.
I'm off to London next weekend (on UA and not BA though). The area around the London Eye looks quite nice at night. Will have to try it out
Thanks again.

Don't know how I missed this great TR! Terrific read, and I will now be looking at Taipei as a foodie destination (who knew?!).
Is it just me, or do quite a lot of your pix have a pink tinge to them? A lot of what I'd expect to be white is coming out in pink or beige, and the blues seem a little strange too. Maybe it's intentional touching-up in Paintshop?

You guys are in luck! I rechecked some of my old photos. The name of the little dumpling cafe in Taoyuan across from the Monarch Plaza Hotel is called the "Dumpling Tiger Northern Chinese Delicacy".
It might actually be a chain restaurant, but don't let that fool you. Delicious, cheap, and clean.

Fantastic report...simply superb!!
Most impressed with your caloric consumption.
Sort of like macubus' Eight Bottles of Dom report, but with less of a hangover
Again, great report in both content and pictures.

Thank you NA-Flyer!
Thanks Billiken! You should have seen how much food I consumed on my most recent Etihad extravaganza.
