Cheap Eats in Taipei

This meal cost me NT$180, which is roughly $6 CDN.
I find it abundantly amazing that a place with the population density of Taipei,  currently approaching 3 million people, not including Taipei County, with the relatively expensive standards of living that the food and beverage costs can be so low.
Approximately a total of 23 million people populate the island [...]

Welcome to Taiwan

Naruwan!
I believe it means “Welcome” in aboriginal Taiwanese and the spokesperson for Tourism Taiwan is aboriginal Taiwanese singing star named A-Mei.
It’s been a couple of hectic weeks here in Taiwan, everyday has been spent with friends and family.  Life in Taiwan really revolves around the food here.
From the very simple street vendors to the very [...]

Since my flight to Taiwan left on the day of my actual birthday I decided to celebrate with [...]

UFC 84: Ill Will

I meant to get this post out a lot sooner but the UFC/housewarming party didn’t end until quite late and I had to be up early for work the next day. Also, had to pick up my father from the airport after work and I’m STILL cleaning the mess at my place.
I’m also on [...]

It sounded like [...]

My Birthday Extravaganza

Alrighty, my teeth have stopped itching and my vision has stopped swimming enough for me to finally make this post. Up until this morning I was still tasting tequila on my breath when I exhaled.
I just celebrated my 4th Annual 29th Birthday on January 20th. After having some wine and watching UFC 80 [...]

A Sex Show, a Birthday and a Broken Camera (NSFW)

That was my weekend in a nutshell.
Just a fair warning that some of the photos in the post below may not be appropriate for viewing in the workplace, thus the NSFW warning in the title. However, in efforts to keep my site relatively clean, I didn’t post any of the real dirty pix [...]

UFC 79: Nemesis Afterparty

To switch things up a bit from our usual UFC fight nights, we decided to hold it at 72 Sports Bar & Restaurant, located in downtown Vancouver. Prior to the UFC 79 party I have never been here before. It’s named after the year 1972 when Team Canada beat Team CCCP (Soviet Union) [...]

Film Industry Xmas Party 2007

Well, get a bunch of actors and film professionals together, throw in a generous amount of booze and some festive cheer and you’ve got yourself a great party.
That’s what we had when my agency, Def Con 5, held our Xmas party for members and friends. The year started out slow for most of us but [...]
