Welcome aboard from central North Carolina, U.S. I have actually been to Kaohsiung, a beautiful little port. It was a "liberty port" for my minesweeper, and a really strange visit. Apparently I was busy in the radio shack and missed the talk on off-limits, so I spent a third of my time wandering the back streets and sidewalk businesses, and was mystified why none of my shipmates were at the empty bars I visited. I finally was intercepted by a Taiwanese minder who took me to tour a temple, and then I finally landed in the noisy bar/dance hall where my shipmates were sort of corralled. It was a strange liberty call. Either my ship's officers didn't know I had strayed or figured no harm done. There's more, but I think that's enough sea story for now. Welcome.

Welcome from Minnesooooota (almost Canada).

I'm a fairly new pipe smoker too. Almost 30 years and still learning something new every day!

Welcome! You've certainly picked an interesting time to move to Taiwan. How do tobacco prices compare to Canada?
