The Blog was used to post some notes which been drafted during my travel. Like I said, to travel alone is quite unique and I like to share the experience with illustrations. I had visited 15 countries and more than 30 cities. On the road with me and have fun...

A tourist is someone who thinks of going home the moment they arrive ; a traveler seeks adventure from one part of the earth to another and slowly over periods of years. Are you a tourist or a traveler ?? I like to travel alone with my camera. To talk with the people who live in the individual city where I visited. Enjoy your life, make your friends...

Painting in my office - " May " by Sir Ernest A. Waterlow

本当に長い間ご無沙汰しました。 I quote the sentense from my friend's blog. Yes, I kept silence for a long time really for a long time. I was having a whole month off (Alas... It's off the weblink.) with the new office set up straight after the trip to Japan. I was down to serious business last month, but I decided to fly back to Taipei next week, which is earlier than my original plan.

The season is turning to autumn and the temperature dropped abruptly. It's suitable time for golfing in the fall. Of course, we get to play golf as useful and make some warm-up this week. We really need some fun in the season.

Let me back to the topic and talk about the painting in my office. I got the painting, May by Ernest A. Waterlow, from Chi-Mei Museum Taiwan in July. I decided to post it in the main entrance of my Shanghai office. It's look great and "May" had changed the atmosphere of the simple cubes. I will visit the Chi-Mei Museum to look at the original copy some day.
