About the Author Robert Kelly first thought to travel to Taiwan in 1986, at the time when martial law had just been lifted. He didn't make it there, however, until 1996, by which time the first presidential elections were being held. The speed with which this traditional society remodels itself never stops fascinating him. Robert, a Canadian, is married to a Taiwanese woman and has lived with her and their two cats in Taipei for the past eight years. The pleasure in writing this book came not least from discovering so many new museums, beaches, hiking trails and good restaurants. Robert has no plans to leave Taiwan now that he's seen how much this country has to offer.
