A weekend in Kaohsiung for Dan's birthday   Date: May 17-18, 2003   Three letters spell out this weekend: D-N-A. Had a great time in Kaohsiung with Jackie, Dan and Graham. Topped it off at a disco, DNA. Nice to get out as in recent years, Jackie and I seldom do.   Did other things which were fun, too. We all climbed a nearby mountain which had Japanese pillboxes and a Buddhist Temple on top of the hill. We had a wonderful dinner in a Shanghai-style restaurant. And we went to the beach at Qijin Island.   Inside the Fa Hsing Temple exists beautiful sculptures
