		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen the new Sun Chips eco-bag?  It's the one that makes a ton of sound whenever you touch it.  I had a hard time eating the chips, because every time I tried to eat my neighbors would stop by and tell me to "knock it off!"

In all seriousness, I love the idea of eco-friendly bags.  There is no reason that everything known to man needs to be wrapped in plastic.  If you really think about it, half of our landfills are filled not with things that are broken and don't work anymore, but the packaging for all of our new stuff.  So, I enthusiastically support Sun Chips in their effort...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peichi’s Amma must have decided to put all of the events I mentioned in my last blog entry behind her, though, as she was very welcoming to me as we showed up for Chinese New Year.  She didn’t even keep much of a watchful eye over me, as I might have expected.  I cannot be sure that she hadn’t carefully noted the home’s entire inventory and each item’s place prior to my arrival.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[n Tainan, I met Peichi’s grandmother for the second time.  “Amma” is “grandma” in Taiwanese, which is exclusively spoken in most of southern Taiwan.  It is far different than Mandarin Chinese, sounding a lot like Thai would if it weren’t nasal.  Short staccato sounds punctuate each word.  Peichi and her immediate family of origin speak both languages fluently.  I don’t.  I barely speak some Mandarin, but know only a couple of Taiwanese words.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We arrived in Taiwan after a whirlwind tour through Tokyo, and my knee was sending distress signals with every step.  The story of how this happened is a matter for another day, but suffice it to say that every step hurt, a lot, and stairs were impossible.  After a four hour sleep, it was off to the city of Tainan.  It is normally about a four hour trip, but at Chinese New Year it takes twice as long due to traffic.  I ended up in a world very different than the one I usually inhabit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, here&#8217;s just a teaser from the beginnings of our Tokyo trip.  There&#8217;s more on the way, but I don&#8217;t have time right now.  It is 6:30 and we&#8217;re off to see the fish market and have some Sushi for breakfast. This is our plane descending into Narita airport, and our first views of Tokyo.  [...]]]></description>
