Blog du Wren

Twitter from Taipei

With the recent craze being all about uber-short updates in the third person (a la facebook status and twitter), I thought I would give said format a try. You know me: always pushing the blogging limits. (Oh, and click on the little pictures to get big pictures.)

	Wren could get used to dumplings for breakfast. (Sunday 8:32 am)
	Wren is pround of his public transportation skillz, esp. when he doesn't speak the language. (Sunday 9:49 am)
	Wren realizes too late that a weekend is a bad time to visit the National Palace Museum. (Sunday 10:52 am)
	Wren is grateful for the numerous and amazingly calming parks throughout Taipei. (Sunday 11:28 am)
	Wren is afraid that the discovery of a $0.12 dumpling place could lead to a nasty addiction. (Sunday 12:18 pm)
	Wren is a sucker for engineering marvels*. (Sunday 1:55 pm)
	Wren wishes he had fog/smog/haze penetrating vision (but at least isn't afraid of heights). (Sunday 2:12 pm)
	Wren's legs are tired from a heck of a lot of walking*. (Sunday 5:45 pm)
	Wren is stoked to be going shrimping! (Sunday 6:29 pm)
	Wren caught one. (Sunday 8:14 pm)
	Wren is one satisfied hosteller*. (Sunday 11:03 pm)

Wren would be well advised to hide that shrimping photo from the local salmon fishermen.
Was it big enough to be a pole bender? Doubtful.

Joe still doesn't know wtf Twitter is. And furthermore, doesn't care to find out.

that shrimp picture brings a little international flavor to the trout pond excursions kids go on for birthday trips.

Horge agrees with Joe on Twitter. About all he knows is that Ashton Kutcher does it, which is not exactly a ringing endorsement in George's eyes.

Juline is also skeptical of Twitter (though admits to giving it a test run), would love to try one of those dumplings (or four or five), and believes that walking is the only way to truly experience a new locale. And she hopes that Wren is taking a lot more photos than he is posting in his blog.

This is about as close as I come to twittering (except to go to their site (for the first time) to figure out how to format this post...).
