Hello from Taipei!!!
Am here for a photographic exhibition of Return to the Roof of the World. There's a website on facebook with all sorts of things written in Chinese. It's at facebook.com/nicholasvreelandphotos
I've had to give many speeches...
and been photographed more than ever before.
Lovely views
from lovely balcony
Lovely flowers in our hallway
Took the time to go out to see...

Had some time for walks... Taipei blends nature, art and the real world.

This young fellow was able to rattle off prayer after prayer with ease.
He tries to concentrate as the abbot points his camera at him. He passed with flying colors!
Very confident!
Finished!!!
