The area had a lot of family-oriented activities, most of which were closed when we went. However, we did take full advantage of the archery and air-powered rifle ranges.

Taipei County has a lot of wonderful places like Wulai that are really close and a great place to spend an afternoon. It’s a great escape from the city.

    I look foward to February when I can once again input humorous names into the bowling scoreboard at Ypsi-Arbor Lanes… I love it when the scoreboard flashes in bold letters:Blood E StoolsSTRIKE!

    Most excellent caption on the second photo! The others are nice, too. I’ll have to take a trip up to Wulai someday soon.
