Taiwan


Now I am in Taiwan. I ate some food using a voucher that Eva Airways gave me. I am pretty impressed with their service (especially considering that it was the cheapest flight home I could find). There were some warnings about bird flu that they played on the monitors before landing in Taipei.... I am not too worried. If I can pick up a hawk off the ground and not get bird flu, then I am strong like that.

I'm tired now. I want to sleep but the benches aren't shaped well for that. I am happy that I am in Taiwan despite the fact that I haven't left the airport. I feel like it's just a little window into the Asia beyond Japan that I haven't seen (yet).

Just in case you were wondering, the photo above is not from Taiwan, it's from Beppu. Also, it was really taken like that.

As a sort of sidenote... I don't know what's going to happen to this blog. I imagine I'll want to convey more of my "trips" here, but who knows where or when; perhaps I need a little vacation from it all. I'd hate to make you have to spend more time doing something like reading the dreadful news, but I plan to change that as well (by attempting to make news better, one of my professional goals). I'll be working on that. Until then, T
