I haven’t snapped a photo in Taiwan for what seems like ages, so you’re stuck with one from Prague. Sometime on Monday, about 20 hours after returning from our fabulous honeymoon, I took the liberty of marking all as read the some 500+ items in my feed reader. So this is what made the short list [late Monday through today]:

• The Final vote for The Best Trip in the World contest.
• David covers the Penghu casino referendum.
• Charming views of Taipei City and Kaohsiung through ultrawide plastic.
• Tired of your desktop?  Craig Ferguson has an October desktop Calendar for you!
• Phil hikes Songluo Lake in Yilan.
• Bike Hugger presents China Airlines stewardesses on bicycles.
• Get the latest information on weather and incoming storms at the CWB.
• Not Taiwan, but awesome:  A gigantic Gundam in Odaiba.
• Also not Taiwan:  Happy National Day!

EVENTS: Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival October 2-6.
