Let me start with the obligatory forgive-me-if-this-is-too-far-off-topic, but I hope the Skritter community will indulge me by helping me plan a short staycation in Taipei at the end of May. I'm indecisive, and so I've decided put my planning in the hands of others. In return, you'll get entertainment, vicarious travel, and hopefully some cool new vocab.
What I'm doing is taking suggestions about cool things to see within Taipei City (including cool things people would want to visit if they had a chance to visit), then choosing the best 50 ideas and building a 5-day itinerary.
I'll blog (& moblog) throughout the 5 days, including photos, videos, sound recordings, & thoughts on the experience.
The daily blogs may be of special interest to Skritterers because I'll be posting the Chinese names and links to related Chinese sites wherever possible, and also including any interesting new vocabulary I pick up throughout the day. Actually, I'm really looking forward to using this project as an excuse to talk to strangers and learn/reinforce vocab at the same time. Hopefully others will be able to benefit from this aspect as well.
Even if you've never been to Taipei, I hope you'll consider contributing. I've set up the blog here:

And I'll be glad to credit you in name or with a link to your own blog or site. Thanks, Skritter!
