Third Visitor    One of my friends I made from my many trips to Montreal last year had some money and time, and so I invited him to come visit me in Taiwan. He arrived on the ninth, and will be leaving on the twenty-second. I love playing tour-guide, so I have been keeping him, and myself, very busy doing everything possible within two weeks. We ( Read more... )

Pictoral Tour of My New Place
    I have been meaning to do this for a long long time now, but I never got around to it until just now. I got my camera out, and walked from the front door through the flat, my room, and out to the back balcony to give everyone the grand view of what I see everyday when I come home.

Flight To Amsterdam    So, my flight was set to leave from Taipei to Amsterdam at 7:20pm last Wednesday. I go there in time, and sat around for a long long time. During that time I wondered around the airport and talked to Justin on my phone for a long time, mostly about Afrikaans, Dutch, and Frisian. I got some noodles from a Japanese fast food ( Read more... )

Christmas    I spent all day yesterday with my squeeze, Justin. We went Christmas shopping for like six hours - it was intense to say the least. One of the stores we went to had the most amazing escalators I have ever seen in my life. On one of them, you walk onto it, and it goes flat and straight for like five or six feet then it starts to go ( Read more... )

I Am Moving!!    My friend Kevin lives with three other people, and one of them is moving back to the states this Tuesday. So, once I found out that the rent is over half of what I am paying now, not to mention I would get to live with my favorite people here, I jumped on the opportunity.

Visitor from the States and Wulai visit number two    A friend of mine from the states is visiting me this week. I wanted to take him out of Taipei. I had originally wanted to go down to central Taiwan, to the Taroko Gorge - but I am running on an extremely tight budget right now, and so we settled on going to Wulai. Here are the pictures from ( Read more... )
