AFTER publishing seven posts about my recent trip to Taiwan, over June and July, I’ve decided to combine and update them into a handy book, Taiwan: The Land of Polynesian Origins: A Local Guide.

It’s now for sale on Amazon, with other platforms to follow later.

Here is the international saleslink: https://geni.us/Taiwan

Among other things, my new book goes into Taiwan’s history and politics a bit more than the blog posts.

And it also includes a bonus chapter on Taiwan’s mountains:

And smaller islands:
