Wednesday, February 13, 2008  Fancy a Walking Tour of Taipei?
Taipei is a city rich in history and interesting things to see,
it's just too bad that most people who come here for vacation
are whisked away to so-called "modern" attractions. In fact,
whenever guests stay in Taipei, they're mostly shown things that
were built within the last five years! These things are great,
sure, but they're not representative of a city with over half-a-
millenia of history - a city that was administered by four
different regimes since the 1500's, and a city that encompasses
both the ancient and the modern. Even if you're not a history
buff, you owe it to yourself to take a glimpse of Taipei's
history.  My name is Shawn, and I've been living in Taipei for a
number of years now and am really interested (and therefore
knowledgeable) about Taipei's history. I've been around all the
historical nooks and crannies and know what I'm talking about!
It would be my pleasure to show you the historical wonders that
are contained within T
