Any ideas? Going back to the states for the holidays and I’m trying to find the awesomest Taiwanese gift.

I’m sending everybody free gift certificates to a new cemetary I am investing in. Hillside views to the ocean, beautiful trees that bring shade and a nice breeze to comfort those who need to grieve for lost ones. Time shared plots available.

You should check out the Chinese New Year cards. They already have those at Eslite. They’re fantastic. I usually send those instead of Christmas card. This year I found some cute Christmas cards, though, so I’ll send those. Then I’ll save the New Year ones for real New Year’s. People back home quit…
