Silver Balls and a Bus
What do large shiny balls and a Taiwanese tour bus have in common?
Absolutely nothing, but they were next to each other when I felt like taking some photos.
Things I want to share. Mainly via my iPhone.
Hello, my name is Roger Gordon. This is my website. I'll put things I make with my iPhone here.
I'm from South Africa, and I teach English in Taichung City, Taiwan in order to study Chinese at a nearby University. I hope this website will help me to remember experiences and practice my Chinese.
您好，我的名字是高延清。這裡是我的網站。這裡要放用iPhone自己作的東西。我從南非來，在台灣的台中巿教英文並在附近的一間大學學中文。我希望藉由這個網站，能幫我紀錄所有的經驗，並且練習中文。

Taipei 101 - Great Weather and an Excellent View
After 2 days of mist, rain and overcast skies, the weather cleared up magically to reveal blue skies and the cleanest air I've seen in Taipei to date. Yong Ju (a Korean girl I met in the hostel I was staying at) and I decided that this was the day to pay Taipei 101 (formerly the tallest building in the world) a visit, and we were rewarded with fantastic views of the city from the 89th floor.
If you're in Taipei, and the weather is good, Taipei 101 is a slightly expensive, but still very worthwhile place to visit if you've never been there before.

Taipei's Temples
Images 1 to 3 are from LongShan Temple, and the rest of the media were taken at BoAn Temple. Picture 7 is of thousands of memorial lights which families place in the temple in remembrance of deceased relatives.

One of my favorite recent photos of one of the most efficient and clean metro systems in the world.

Taipei Zoo
Here are some shots I took while visiting Taipei Zoo two days ago. It's not a bad zoo as far as zoos go, but I'd much rather see the animals in the wild, where they belong.
You can almost see the frustration and boredom on some of their faces...
