What do I remember from visiting Taiwan for the first time over ten years ago?
A couple things. The narrow streets, the fruit candy tins, the little lizards all over the walls. Here's a quick rundown:

- Grandma bringing us around on her motorcycle; we stood in the front, she wove all around the backstreets and alleyways full of shops.
- Bread shops. Little candy tins on the shelves, mints or hard candy.
- Snapping turtle in a bucket.
- Slug trails all over.
- Bathing with buckets of water splashed around.
- Not knowing how the toilets work.
- Fishing incidents and throwing up too much oolong tea.
- Waking up to a centipede in my shoe.
- Sleeping on a hard bed on the floor.
- My mini Hello Kitty pillow.
- Gutter smell.
- Matching short-sleeve/shorts outfits, with pineapples and floral print.
- Fighting fish and Little T.
- Walls of salamanders? Newts? Baby iguanas?
- Fields, open wild grass.
- Less people.
- Making fortune tellers.
