Around the (so-called) World in 3 Days (Goddamnit)

This can be considered as one of the most inaccurate accounts in Keongomaniac history. Typically panned by critics but loved by the masses, that is how these things go these days. The happy photos displayed below are but the last 3 days of Taiwan. Other 'restricted' pics may appear in other entries to seem less obvious. Famous amusement parks were visited, phenomenal rides taken, personal records broken. Albeit rushed and time restricted (word of the day)."You'll be my American boy... American boooyy.." Once considered to be taboo in Haz Wayne's World, the Star-Spangled Banner is embraced in the Wild West section of the amusement park.A typical ode to the natives of America, they who perished and exterminated by the Anglo-Saxons of yesterday, presidents of the present.Unleashing the Clark Kent in me. Farm and barn things reduced to seats.Now to the Pacific, and the Big Smiles of the Mysterious Ones. Those ancient race of people must have been happy people. Another native. Fascinating tatoos would drive any beng nuts.
Walking with the Dinosaur, transported momentarily to prehistoric times this time. Now to Ancient Egypt. Embracing a long-lost brother turned into stone a long time ago by the Egyptian mother.

Guarding the citadel is hard work.
Another long-lost brother. The Sphinx asked me: "Which creature walks with 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 3 at night?" I answered, "That creature does not have to wait till night to walk with 3, nor does he walk with 4 only in the morning". Kinky.Me and Jufri trying to confuse visitors on the right way to the North Pole.Galileo was executed for saying the Sun is in the centre of the Universe. A better trick is to say the Tower of Pisa is not leaning.The closest I've been to the Forbidden City. It once houses one of the mightiest monarchs in history, until they put a woman in-charge which ultimately destroyed 1000 years of Chinese history. "Mushu, ring the gong!". Erm, bell in this case. For luck I think. After the supposed around the world tour in 3 days, back in Taiwan. At Taipei 101, the beautiful colours of life converged to erect the world's tallest building.

The ancient coins say "1-0-1". Can you see it?
Apparently Singapore is not the only place with LOVE. This one is red.
Bye bye Taiwan. Enter the Last Five Months.
