In the 1970s. Do you know what the island is like now?

During Covid when international travel wasn't possible I looked at going to some of the islands but ended up booking Mazu and Penghu instead, so I never got to Lanyu. From what I researched, still quite small and remote all things considered, but I doubt there's as much character now as when you visited.

Love your travel writing. You see so much more than visual surfaces. I loathe travel now but I still love being in other worlds. Thanks for taking me to so many places and thanks especially for your entire world view.

Thank you Rhoda, for your kind words. I think of you and miss the old days at the 4-corners. Hope you are well.
