greetings from taiwan again guys. (july 29 11:20 am)

so got chewed up by mosquitoes last night, and i found out for my refresher class in mandarin chinese, i basically have to start from the bottom up. so i'll be in a class with "adults" or teenagers.

yah not a great today...

hope your day is better in the states,

in taiwan!!!

hey guys. i am now currently in taiwan after a marathon 9 hour flight from sfo to tokyo, then 2 hour layover in tokyo, then another 3 hour flight to taipei. let's just say yesterday i was about to pass out. it's currently about 10:17am of july28th in taiwan as i am writing this so keep that in mind. trying to get used to the time change here, and let me just say it's not easy.

also it's freaking hot as hell. i literally have been sweating non-stop since i came here. haha but i kinda expected that.

hopefully i'll post some pictures of my room here in taiwan and my first day of classes here as i did bring my camera (of course i would).

anyways keep checking here for more updates. i'll try to be as prompt as i can as i have to walk to the local library for internet access which is kind of a pain.

btw fyi, google is automatically in chinese here. who would have thunk?

enjoy your week guys,

mike

nervous...

hey guys. so it's the eve of my leave to taiwan. i really don't know what to think. i'm nervous, excited, and other emotions all rolled into this weird gut feeling.

keep checking here for more updates of my adventures in taiwan.

here goes nothing!

much love,

mike

goodbye to college...

today i leave behind my college life. i had packed my car, went back to look around my now empty room to see if i had missed something. it felt very weird, and it almost felt like i was losing a part of myself.

but so is life...

and now on to a new chapter.

here i come taiwan!

mike

i'm fine...

hey guys. was just in an accident. i'm fine but my poor camry's a little busted up... T_T

mike

what came first the chicken or the egg? YES there's an answer!

here's the answer. i won't give it away here. hehe...

mike

mike

mike

update in life...

hey guys. hope you had an awesome 4th of july.

in recent news in the next three weeks i'll be preparing to move to the other side of the pacific ocean to live with my grandparents in taiwan for about a year. why? to get my chinese up to par. haha. really more nervous than excited about it. but everyone i have talked to really want to be able to live there for a year like i am. i hope so.

wow july 26 is coming up really fast...
