if i had a million dollars

November 06, 2007 13:41

September 11, 2006 04:12

the food down here in the dirty South (i'm talking about Tainan County, kids) is good and all, but there's nothing exceptional. there's plenty to eat, but the choices are extremely limited. sooner or later the noodle houses start blending into one another and you can't really distinguish one from the other. the only good burger place around here is Mos Burger, and even that's a fast food chain. grrr.. anyway i just found this post by a guy living in Taipei that echoes my thoughts to the la...
