Where Waterview Street Begins

Image
     Do you see the pretty lady in front of the water? Yes; that's right! That's your mommy when she came to visit Grandpa David and Leona on the island of Taiwan 5 years before you were born. The name of the water is Han River.      At the top of Waterview Street, there is a view of that water. It is where Waterview Street starts. You can see our street over Mommy's head where the river bends at the top of this photo but you have to look carefully. In the picture below you can see the building Mommy was standing on behind the trees on the right. Can you see it?       The water is in a river called Han River. In this picture, the workers almost stopped the river to build the bridge, but now the river is okay. If we walk two blocks up Waterview Street from Renoir Castle, we can view the water; that is why it is called "water-view" street. Ha-ha!!!      The view of the water at the top of Waterview Street changed 2 years ago when our city of Taichung b

Fish Wash

When you come to visit us in Taiwan, I will take you to see the Fish Wash. The water passes under the end of Waterview Street but the fish stay. The long gold-brown fish swim from the water coming down the mountainside and they get stuck at the Waterview Street Bridge; they can go no further because there is a dam under it  that stops them; I don't know why. If I were them, I would turn around and swim back up the wash into the mountains, but these fish are a little stupid. Instead,they stay together there swimming in circles and flopping around forever.

Our Doormen

Second Doorman Our first doorman was so old when he left there were not any pictures of him. He was a nice man and liked cleaning the old fish pond until water started coming out and the fish were not happy. We moved the fish to a nicer place and put plants in the old pond. The old Doorman left us to help Motorhead until he found out he was not getting money for his help; so he quit and went away.   The second doorman was good, but he got very sick. Finally, he could not take it anymore.  His health got worse and worse and he had to leave. He was such a nice guy and has helped Leona do her job as building treasurer. We hope he is okay.  We had gotten a temporary doorman until  a new man. was found. I do not have his picture either because he looked bad always sleeping and he was hard to find coming in late and leaving early. We had to tell him good-bye. New Doorman; The Best One  Our new doorman is the best. He is friendly, funny, comes on time, and helps everyone bri
