Tan-Tsu noodles
I didn't do much yesterday. Bought 10 pens of varied color ink. Bought postcards to send. It was a day to celebrate not being on a plane! I slept okay both nights. It's nice to comeback to a place I'm familiar with. Even though the name has changed, much of the staff is the same. The rooms, bed, showers, breakfast buffet... no changes that were evident to me.

Today I'll travel to Jiufen for 4 days. I'll need to plan the next part of the trip. New Year's Day is the 25th and many people travel or have dinner with their families the night before. Not a great time to visit but... flights, money, time... Fortunately, my journey is just trying to be present, to observe, understand, learn... share.

No great photo opportunities yet today, so I took one of this morning's soup and wrote:

What floats in this clear broth ... green shards, bean sprouts, a tangle of Tan-Tsu noodles? This is not Breakfast at Tiffany's: no cheese, no baguette, no you... The melody of the morning chatters in Taiwanese until we have finished and a smock-dressed worker clears it all away. Taipei, 17.January.2020.

I posted it on spacebook. Not all days are exciting. *Smile*
