  • Sea Glass Hunting

    Sea Glass Hunting

    We spent yesterday combing the beach for sea glass. Quince and I together with our friends Nikki, Olivia, Sarah, and Harper drove out to Seiku/Clallam Bay area. 

  • Nerd season 

    Spring is the opener season for gardening, backyard BBQs, camping, and many other things. But it also means convention time. A time when nerds from all over assemble, sometimes in cosplay, around a weekend for sharing their passion with a hell of a lot of other people. It’s awesome. 

  • Corned Beef Fest

    Corned Beef Fest

    We at the Chanway household love corned beef. Lucky for us, we live next door to a family who also loves this dish. This year we decided to make two and host a large dinner with friends.

    Updates

    Generally I tend to favor giving my blog posts clever titles. With this post I feel unable to find a suitable title that does that. Without further ado here is a very generically titled update for the opening post of 2016. Let’s hope that this year isn’t always this generic!

  • Overnight vacation

    Overnight vacation

    Although for Quince and I this trip is all about vacation, for Richard it is not. However before the work started we got the treat of going to Yilan and Jiaosi.  We left Taipei yesterday morning. First we stopped in Yilan. It has train station decorated with art from a cartoonist from the reigon.   After…

  • Let’s fly!

    Let’s fly!

      We are off. Destination Taipei, arriving Sunday morning and breakfast ready.  Plane photo. The seat next to Richard had no one sitting in it so Quince spent part of the time there with him. My new seat buddies enjoyed the extra space.    As expected on an EVA flight, service and food were good.…
