What attracted you to Taiwan as a holiday destination?

Also, Mr Miyagi wants to know if you’re there with your parents, a partner or by yourself? Are you staying in separate rooms or together? Are you going to largely relax or get out and do things (whatever the **** there is to do there)? These are the questions Mr M wants answered.

Nopes, I'm not interested in any of the above.

If at all interested, I wonder if he tried to find authentic General Tso chicken. If I were in Taiwan, it is something I would try and do. Plus I suggested it to him earlier.

Writers from Taiwan News paid a visit yesterday to the original Peng's Garden Hunan Restaurant (彭園湘菜館) to learn more about the history of the famed eatery, a place which should be on the itinerary of every visitor to Taipei, and to sample its world-famous dish -- General Tso's Chicken

See how it is dry there in the second bowl down. That is what I have found in NZ and it is very good. But I want to try it with authentic sauce.

Authentic

Tasty but not the real thing. Actually on zoom, this appears to have sauce. But still much less than the authentic. In NZ, all I can so far find is dry.

Hot Springs, cheap food, cheap flights, nice people.

None of which apply to Australia ftr

That's not fair. Australia has hot springs, cheap food and cheap flights.

*****’s ignorance prevents him from understanding these sorts of things.

Ok

I thought of another Aussie elf n' safety thing: splish spash splosh - something like that? In time gone by all true Aussies would have skin like a cremated snake. Not now.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I know. All that for preventing those minor melanomas

Australian hot springs are just ditches in the dirt where water is left to boil.

The hot springs of Taiwan are luxurious and elegant.

The hot springs of Japan even more so I hear. I look forward to that.

Whoosh

As for cheap food...well we've seen the standard of Australian cuisine in this thread. The food is 'cheap' indeed.

The food in Taiwan was pretty cheap too, price wise, and was absolutely excellent. Pics coming up soon as promised

Is this why many Aussies are pasty, too much splish splash sploshing? I mean I have a better suntan than Steve Smith and I apparently live in a country which should grow a climate.

Thats because he is literally 90% covered up for 99% of his time in the sun, such as when he plays cricket. Maybe he'll work on his tan at the beach in the next 12 months.

There's three different types of Aussie male cricketers though. There's the Australian in Excelsis, like Keith Miller, Andrew Symonds, Shane Watson, Pat Cummins, Dennis Lillee, Garth McKenzie. Highly evolved to our ferocious climate, bronzed, good looking, the most highly evolved humanoids in history.

Then there's the ANZACS. Tough, gritty, in the trenches types who can rely on and will fight to the death. Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Mike Hussey, Adam Gilchrist. Evolved to withstand immense pressure and fight back aggressively when cornered.

Then there's the Vestiges Of British Genes But Still Thoroughly Aussie. You see this occasionally in guys like Steve Smith. The redder hair and the pastier skin. For various reasons they haven't evolved out of the English gene pool (or carry a regressive throwback gene) with regards to looks, but have evolved the Australia toughness that lets them dominate the English consistently. Shane Warne has fought his entire career to try and get out of this category and into the Australian in Excelsis one, with moderate success depending on what your scientific viewpoint is.
