A Nice Run This Morning in Ho Chi Minh City

I am back in Ho Chi Minh City and could go for a nice run this morning.

Commuters ride motor bikes along posters showing better lives.

High rise residential buildings on the other side of Saigon River.

A run rise over the river.

Flags along the street by the river.


Dogs and a cat.

Meditators in a park.

One of many construction sites.

A statue of the man whose name is the city's name.

Two Morning Runs in Taipei

I am so glad that I could put in two morning runs in the beautiful city of Taipei.

On Friday, I ran east from my hotel - it rained pretty much the entire time.

A wall by a street that displays names of cities.

Pretty pink leaves.

A gate to Nangang Park.

One of the lakes of the park.

Pretty pink flowers.

Azalea flowers - at least 2 months early compared to Tokyo.

A market.

A construction.

A big rhino statue in front of a building.

This morning, I started earlier - so it was still dark - at Xiangshan Park.

A warning sign - interesting.

A car displays an anime.

A Free Library installation.

Love "cat"?



A huge dome stadium is being built by the hall.

People exercising Tai-chi.

The monumental Taipei 101 building.

A Nice Run for a Change

Since I caught a cold last month, I was absent from running for three weeks!  I could finally go for a nice run today.

A very nice pink plum blossom by Sankaku Hiroba

A bridge and water pipes crossing Tamagawa Josui.

A nice playground of Inokashira Park.

Nishi-En track.



 The crossing of Kichijoji-dori and Inokashira-dori.

Furisode - a type of Kimono worn by unwed girls.


Hanako - a former star of Inokashira Zoo.

Amazingly, Bohemian Rhapsody is still playing at the local theater.

Women are already queueing up at the new cream-puff place.
