All Done

I can't believe I'm all packed up. I feel like Taiwan has been a dream and all I've done is paused my life back home in the states. I really don't want to go back to reality...

Before leaving for the airport, my cousin took me on one last spur of the moment adventure. He took to me tofu alley to eat stinky tofu one last time before I departed. For some reason, this stinky tofu has been the best I've tasted since I came. I don't know if it's because it is actually good or because I know I'm leaving Taiwan indefinitely, so it tastes better. Either way, it was an adventure worth while before my flight....

The flight back wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was a lot more tired than I was going to Taiwan, but I guess it's because I know I'm coming back to reality...I really feel as if I just paused my life here in the states and now I've just unpaused it. Nothing here has changed, but it's as if I've changed the most. I'm already experiencing Taiwan withdrawals and it's not making adjusting to the jetlag any easier. lol.

Now, back to my regular routine of studying and going on with life. The experiences, friends, and memories I've gained from this Taiwan trip has definitely brightened my life and I couldn't have asked for a better summer. I will look forward to the next time I am able to go back to Taiwan. There is just so much to do and buy the next time I go!

Almost Done...

I only have four more days in Taiwan. It's been a bittersweet journey. I love the convenience and the experiences I've made in Taiwan thanks to people I've met, but I'm also excited to go back home to where I'm comfortable and where I can read signs. I'm so conflicted on the emotions I feel right now.

I haven't been updating the blog because,
1) I forget,
2) I adventure around, but I feel like most of the things I write about have already been written about in previous posts, and
3) I'm too lazy. lol.

I need to start packing and start getting my final gifts. This is going to be so sad...

Day 40: Work Cancelled!

Work was cancelled today due to the typhoon, so I just slept in ALL DAY. It felt awesomeee, especially after clubbing until early morning the night beforee.

Honestly, I thought a tphoon would be scarier, but its just rain and wind. -______-. Yes, it gets really inconvenient, but I assumed there would be like power shortages or something, but I'm glad it wasn't like that! Now one typhoon has passed, waiting for the second one to pass!

Day 38 & 39: Typhoon

Because of the typhoon, nothing exciting could be done except go underground shopping at Taipei Main...I've already walked that place so many times, I can tell you which stores are coming up and what they have inside or if they are even worth walking into.

Rainy days in Taiwan are such a drag....THE TYPHOON HAS RUINED MY ADVENTURES! ugh. all my plans have been cancelled, and I only have a few weeks left of Taiwan! Now is the time to squeeze adventures in, but I guess I can't with this BLAH weather.

I guess I will catch up on my sleep and stay in on this lazy, sluggish week.
