It had been a fantastic, fantastic week with my parents here – I really appreciated their visit.

We had a very relaxing train ride back to Taipei and followed it up with a rather splendid curry at my local joint – surprisingly good. I walked them up to their hotel along the river and we said a rather wrenching goodbye. I had just got used to having them around and all of a sudden they were going again, which was simply not fair.

Goodbye from HsinSiang Station and Taiwan!
