Welcome

THIS BLOG IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED. PLEASE VISIT MY NEW SITE www.novawalsh.com FOR NEW CONTENT

Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Nova Walsh and I'm a freelance writer. This blog is about the stories I uncover, food I love, places I travel, and my life in Austin, Texas.

We've Arrived!

Sign in the Taipei airport - what's not to love about a culture that uses such cute dogs to sniff out banned agricultural goods?

After four months of planning and 14 hours of rump-numbing plane travel, we finally made it to Taipei! The combination of the long flight and losing a day (we left L.A. on Monday afternoon and arrived here late Tuesday night) was disorienting to say the least.
 Scooters everywhere you look

It's been a rough day for us so I'll keep this first post short.  I just wanted to say we're alive and here and enjoying ourselves and completely overwhelmed!  I can't wait to post more when I have a little time!  Tomorrow we start our apartment hunt.  Very exciting!  Who knows what we'll find.  I'll end with a few pictures from the day.
Outside a temple near Dadaocheng Wharf

Inside the temple - this is a matchmaking god that people come to for help with love.  It's a very popular temple.

In a mall food court.  The idea of a food court is completely different in the U.S. - we saw some absolutely great food available!

Shopping is crazy here.  I don't think I've ever seen so many shopping options - even in New York.

A Day in the Life

Quote of the Week

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright, Pavarotti, My Own Story
