13 hours to the End of the Pacific


We sat, we slept, we used the bathroom, watched "He's just not that into you" and we were in Taiwan. Ni hao, hello we say. A few things about Asia already as we step off the plane....it's hot. And not like Las Vegas Desert hot, like I am walking into a sauna hot, where the humidity makes my hair a wild beast perched atop my head with its own agenda....untamed and untamable. The upside to this humidity, yes the upside, is the green. and I mean GREEN. LUSH. TROPICAL. it is a beautiful country with kind kind people who turn into predators on when they get on scooters.


This country is a beautiful juxtaposition of the ancient world mixed in with modern civilization. There are Mcdonalds next to grand temples and 7-11s by peace ponds.

All in all, let me just introduce you to my life here for the next year...or so.....
I am in Taiwan. I am a new traveler here, a very touristy resident...and I am in love. This place is home. Please take off your shoes before you enter.....
