Austin Texas – Peter Tsai Photography

Taipei is where both of my parents grew up, and all of these photos are from my March, 2008 trip back to Taiwan. This was my 4th time going back to Taiwan and I had the privilege of going back with both of my parents for the first time.

Taiwan is a very interesting place to me. I have probably a hundred cousins and about 30 aunts and uncles living there, while back home I don’t have much extended family at all. It’s cool to be around so much family even though I don’t know them that well.

The culture is very different in Taiwan – I would say that Taiwan is a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, native Taiwanese cultures, and western influence.

Oh yea…. the food is amazing too (more posts on that later)
