I cooked "American" (and foods from other nations) at home, but it was usually so difficult to find the imported ingredients (and if you did find the ingredient, a bank loan was often required for the purchase). There were a few hamburger joints that really were not that good and an American-style breakfast place we liked to frequent on weekends. Every restaurant was a Chinese restaurant. We ate Chinese food every day when we lived in Taipei. ![]() The dad says, "What? Chinese food again?". His family is seated around the dinner table, chopsticks in hand. There is an old cartoon that shows a Chinese dad coming home after a long day at the office. Not recognized by most world governments, Taiwan was an island in more ways than a map would show. Taiwan was developing faster than the speed of light, and moving away from textiles/plastics into technology, engineering, science and medicine. Many European and American companies were looking to Taiwan for their skilled (not cheap - skilled) manufacturing capabilities. Taiwan was waking up from of a long sad past and business was booming. In hindsight, it would have been easier to plan a mission to Mars.įirst of all, this was circa 1987. We were living in Taiwan and for some ridiculous reason thought it would be a good idea to throw a big Cinco de Mayo/Mexican fiesta party in our back garden. why anyone would make a pinata, when they are plentiful, inexpensive and at every party store in America? Did I ever tell you about the time I made a pinata? I suppose you are wondering. ![]()
