The city I grew up in

I grew up in Kaohsiung, but never took the time to really appreciate it.  As we were driving in the city a couple nights ago, I tried to capture some night scenes and noticed how a simple bridge overpass gracefully elevated above the street and lowered back.  It made a beautiful composition as the colorful signs that lined the sides blended with the busy but uniformed car lights on the bridge.  I lived here 32 years ago and still think this is my other home.

I bought an old fashion rice cooker 大同電鍋.  My last one broke years ago, since then I've gone modern.  It's a stable in every Chinese kitchen though, so I've got to have one to feel like a serious cook.  I'm sure I'll find good use for it.

We drove to Tainan to look at some watches at a friend's shop.  Had dinner with PJ's colleagues from years ago.  It's been 10 years since I last saw them.
