Our first stop on our Asian adventure was Taiwan. We chose Taiwan for two reasons. One was because I worked with somebody from Taiwan who had done a very good job of making it sound like a great place to visit (he was right), including letting me sample some of the magnificent tea grown high [...]

introducing pastabroccoli: YouTube edition
As I mentioned in my previous post, we filmed almost 70 videos along with our nearly 17,000 photographs. What does that mean?
