The Final Post


 It's been a good run writing the Taiwan Adventure Blog, but things have changed in my life.  I havemoved back to the USA and landed in Tucson, AZ.  So Taiwan Adventure Publications will no longer be publishing this blog.  Oh, we'll leave it up so that you can refer to it if you're going to Taiwan for a visit or an extended stay.  It's a great place to live - I lived there for 11 years.

We're starting as of this week a new blog called Tucson Living.  We'll explore Tucson, the restaurants, the city and other local places, just like we did in Taiwan, but we're going to add a new twist.  In addition to the blog posts we'll collaborate with Birch Leaf Productions to supplement the blog posts with video.  In each post we'll add a video that brings more depth.  


I'll give you an example:  We plan to do a blog post on a visit to Tombstone, AZ.  Tombstone is famous for the Gunfight at the OK Corral.  The post will talk about our visit to this historical city but the video will talk about Tombstone's most famous historical figure: Wyatt Earp.  We'll talk about the man and retrace his steps to the gunfight and what happened to him afterward.


Videos will contain history or science, or be an interview with a chef or restaurant, or maybe just document an adventure.  In any case it will be in the same style as the Taiwan Adventure.  So, look for our new blog Tucson Living.  Here's a handy link: The Tucson Living Blog

Goodbye Taiwan

I've lived in Taiwan for almost 11 years and it has come time to head home!I will be leaving in January 2021 to move to Tucson Arizona.  So we will be posting a new blog called, surprisingly, "The Tucson Adventure."  I'm nothing, if not creative, that is for sure!  The blog will start as we prepare to move.  Things like

1.  Buying a House in Tucson while living in Taiwan. 
2.  Packing and shipping our whole life and all of our stuff to the US.
3.  Adjusting to a new place.
4.  Culture Shock in your own native country!

And anything else that comes to mind that seems interesting. 

I have decided in my retirement that I'm going to spend some part of the day writing - EVERY DAY.  Well, that's what I say now but we'll see. I have a couple of writing projects that I want to begin working on in addition to "The Tucson Adventure."  I'll reactivate the Standing Stones Blog and continue to add photos to "Taiwan Wildlife" (although it will probably transform into "Tucson Wildlife"!

I'm retiring so I don't want to make it a job, but I'll try to have at least one new post a week on each blog.  The resolve seems to be weakening already.  I went from a declaration, "I'm going to spend some part of each day writing," to "I'll try!"  What a wimp.  I won't let my resolve...dissolve!
