This morning Brother Bracken and I took the "silver bullet" train from Tainan to Taipei. I'm not actually sure why they call it the "Silver Bullet" since nothing about the train is silver. It is high speed and extremely smooth. The Red Line in Chicago could learn a few things here.
The ride was about an hour and 40 minutes. I wouldn't trade this time with Brother Bracken for "all the tea in China". Very personal, priceless time of listening to his heartbeat for missions and his listening to mine.
Upon arriving in Taipei, we found a cab. If you don't have faith, just don't get in one...... We were able to check into our hotel: The Dong Wu Hotel. The paper says the website is http://www.dongwu-hotel.com/. It's very nice and you can't beat the price of $2,240 a night. (Wait for the site to load. Do NOT load the Chinese characters when prompted. Just let the jumbled page of characters load and you will see the word "English". Click it and you should be in business.)
We have already made contact with Brother Victor Votaw who is based here. The plan is to meet him for dinner.
I have a few pictures but will have to wait to get them uploaded.
