(I didn't take the picutes above but will when I go to these places this weekend!)
Hello Everyone! I made it safe and sound and am lying comfortably in our bamboo bed drinking a cup of very strong joe while listening to the Taiwanese merchants talk over loud speakers outside. It’s foreign and pleasant and makes me happy.
The flight alone was grueling and with a head cold to boot made it that much more enjoyable. I watched 4 movies but couldn’t tell you what there were now as I was in a sort of drug induced daze (don’t worry, it was only cold meds). Seeing John was great! His place is cute and totally a bachelor pad but he took extra measures to make it as comfortable as possible for me which was very sweet.
We walked around a tad last night, mainly up and down his street but I was completely out of it so we went to the store and got some wine and watched a movie and talked and got caught up. Today I’m hanging out around here getting myself settled then going on a walk around his neighborhood until he comes back home for lunch (btw, he gets a 2 hour lunch break!) Then I’ll go with him and hang out by the school where he teaches. There is a gym which he thinks I should check out. I have to check out the Taiwanese gym. I’m not totally comfortable venturing off by myself yet. I should be more so tomorrow after we head into Taipei tonight for dinner. We are going to Taipei 101 which is the tallest building in the world says John. I can’t wait. We will also check out some of the night markets like Snake Alley. Maybe I’ll drink some snake blood. Doubt it but one can pretend to be that adventurous right?
Tomorrow I’ll probably head back into Taipei on my own or see if one of John’s friends can come show me around assuming that one of them doesn’t have a day job. We are planning on heading south to his friend Jody and her boyfriend’s place tomorrow night. I can’t remember exactly where it is but it’s near Sunmoon Lake which we are going to on Sunday.
Hope you are all lovely in Seattle and I will post more soon! Lots of hugs from Taiwan!
