Hi Jimeve and Teacher,
Thanks for the welcome. Teacher, "grouchy old men" I can deal with. If that's the worst of it in the realm of personalities, Dumaguete must be a genuine candidate for designation as a
Shangri-la.

I've never gotten off the train at Miao Li, but I'm quite familiar with it's location on the line between Taipei and Taichung.
