KA-BAR IS NOT ALONE

WWII set; with Thompson sub machine gun and M1 Carbine
Vietnam War set; wtih M-14 rifle and M1911A1 pistol




Since KA-BAR is a legned in US military history, I think he should not be alone. I took photos of KA-BAR with his old buddies during WW II and Vietnam War.

A GIFT FROM A NEW FRIEND



Recently I knew a friend due to the Taipei International Book Exhibition, and we get along with each other pretty well! Yesterday he gave a KA-BAR as a wonderful gift. KA-BAR is a legend of US Marines, also a part of history of USMC. I am so glad to receive this KA-BAR becoming a part of my collections. In the large photo, you also can see my another knife collection - an Al Mar combat knife. For more detail information about KA-BAR, please check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KA-BAR and for the company of KA-BAR at https://www.kabar.com/index.jsp

A TRIP TO I-LAN


I took a 2-day trip to I-Lan(located in eastern Taiwan) in late Dec. 2006; visited National Traditional Art and Culture Center and stayed at a nice hotel. It was quite joyful trip. On the way back to Taipei, we drove through the Snow Mountain Tunnel which is the longest tunnel in Asia.
