taiwan update

hey guys. sorry about the lack of updating. classes have started at the mandarin training center, but i will definitely update as much as i can.

taiwan has been good to me so far, weather has definitely cooled down a lot, and i have been out and around taiwan a lot. just yesterday i went to the water park here in taipei. pretty much like any water park in the states, but still an awesome time, and perfect timing since the cold weather is coming in.

well back to work. i'll keep you guys posted.

later,

mike

my new baby (this thing is pretty sweet!)

hey guys. so if you haven't already known my laptop crashed, and basically i needed to buy a new one here in taiwan. so after a frustrating week of trying to find the right laptop for me, i finally found the one:

meet the acer aspire 4741G with intel core i5 processor that in total was about $850 in taiwan rather than over $1000 in the states. i think i got a pretty good deal!

some pics of my new baby:

oooooooooo....

ahhhhhhhh (btw that's a picture i took of danshui, a seaside suburb in taiwan near the capital taipei)

the laptop closed

look how thin is it!

comes with free bag and mouse.

yes i'm a happy guy!

enjoy your weekend,

mike
