Time Machine Dec 2008: Taipei Feet

We have a little bit of catch-up to play with our blog postings. Once we made the decision to transition from Taipei back to Pflugerville late last year we kinda went head's down to make it all happen in a short period of time.

On our last weekend in Taipei as a family (I was leaving the following Monday to pave the way for the rest of the clan) the kids wanted to visit the local Chili's in Tien Mu one more time. I snapped this picture when nobody was paying attention and I've always liked how it captures a moment in time.



I've been playing around with an online photo editor called www.picnik.com and that's what I used for the effects and the text.

As much as I'm not a huge fan of Chili's, I'll miss these little outings in Taiwan. If we were having a rough week and just wanted some comfort food we'd head down there and have the Fajita Wrap or Buffalo Ranch Chicken sandwich. When you walk in, you could be at any Chili's in the U.S. - you could swear you were in the Hutto Chili's or even in Granbury! The menu was the same - the decorations were the same - the only difference was the Taiwanese wait staff.

And in all honesty - the wait staff in Taiwan is much better than their U.S. counterparts.

Enjoy the picture. I'll see if I can get Amy to blog about her experiences at the Modern Toilet restaurant sometime soon.
