"So many countries, so little time!" to borrow a phrase. When I was young I heard about a club where the requirement for joining was having completed travel to more then 100 countries and that seemed to be a worthwhile lifetime goal! I am in the 30s for number of countries that I have visited which means I am less then a third of the way there...but still there have been some amazing places on the way! These are some of the stories that I'd like to share with you of places seen and adventures had...

09. Onwalkabout.com - 12,000 kilometers across India, Nepal, & Bangladesh
	After spending 13 years in Taiwan, it was time to go “onwalkabout”, see a little of the world and do some of those things that I'd been putting off for years. This is a journal of a motorcycle adventure riding around India, Nepal and Bangladesh on a classic Royal Enfield Bullet for most of 2003. I had a goal to follow where the road led and take pictures of the beauty I saw on the way. With just that as a rough idea, a GPS to guide me and this site, a notebook and camera to bring you along. (2003)
08. Won't The God's Ever Stop Playing With Me???
	Six weeks in the hospital and the only thing I was dreaming of was getting my convertible out into the mountains and feeling the wind in my hair. In a body cast, and walking with a four-legged walker, I wedge myself behind the wheel...then the god's decide to have some more fun with me!(May 2001)
07. Parasailing Above Mount Blanc, Chamonix, France.
	An innocent bet made with Jim Chu about our futures in 1995 turns into an incredible payout when he being the perfect gentleman fulfills on losing the bet by taking me all expenses paid to Chamonix, France for a week of skiing in the beginning of 2001. Great weather, great skiing and parasailing in front of Mount Blanc...what more could one ask for...well, perhaps some more Vin Chaud! (January 2001)
06. All Terrain Motorcycles in Bali, Indonesia
	For some reason I just can't seem to stay on an off-road motorcycle. On this trip to Bali, I was pretty excited to get on one again after going over a cliff on one 15 years ago. Well, just like last time I ended up on my head. Fortunately, I got it on video for you. (August 2000)
05. Hanging on the Beach, Krabi Thailand
	Running away for the weekend is one of the easiest things to do here in Asia with all the beaches, culture, mountains you could want in any direction. Here's a diary of sun, skinny dipping and reveling in wonderful food on the beach. There are crabs making little homes and sea kayaking but basically this is the diary of someone overworked who found the lest things amazing when dumped into paradise with no stress (May 2000)
04. How About A Few Million Bottle-Rockets - Pointed At YOU!! - Yen Shui - 1999-03
	Something that you could only get in Taiwan is how one friend put it - several million fireworks and bottle rockets aimed directly at 120,000 visitors who for one night a year show up in a small Taiwan town to face down the dragon!(March 1999)
03. Hwang Di Dian (The Kings Place), North Taiwan.
	A trip just an hour out of Taipei that puts you at the top of the world. Along with a couple of friends, I visit a ridge looking down upon two incredible valleys along the razor ridge of The King's Place. (March 1999)
02. Yu Shan (Jade Mountain), Central Taiwan
	The highest peak in Northeast Asia is conquered by for fun loving guys. The sunrise over a sea of clouds is not to be missed, and as all ways, taking the path less taken proved to be a brilliant move. (October 1998)
01. The Chiang Kai-Sheck Memorial, Taipei Taiwan (- temporarily removed)
	One of the three monuments (to date) which has deeply moved me, the Chiang Kai-sheck memorial with the National Theater and National Opera House on the sides is one of my favorite places in the world. This is a view of the memorial from the center of the plaza (July 1998)
