Well, 2006 has definitely been an incredible year, but I have a feeling that 2007 will be even better!! I can honestly say that this was one of the best New Year’s that I have ever had! Even though I was a bit homesick around Christmas time, the nostalgia and sadness soon faded! As I said before, I have had the best of times and the worst of times ( Read more... )

It seems like it has been a billion years since my trip to the States, but alas it has only been a month and a half! The days go by so fast here...it seems like I am constantly running in an endless marathon. That can explain why I feel dehydrated most of the time ( Read more... )

British Claire, French Claire and I took the opportunity to head down to Hualian for a bit of hiking, rafting, and rock music. We took a three hour train trip down, and ( Read more... )

It was definitely hard adjusting to life here in Taipei, after a month of amazing food, lots of family love, and parties. I am missing my family more than ever. I think I am growing up. My schedule is finally normalized...I work 2 ( Read more... )

I cannot even believe that my last post was almost a month ago. So, Amy and Alex left this morning for China. It's going to be very sad and strange not to have them in the house. I am not sure when I will see them again...maybe our paths will cross sometime in Toronto or Vancouver. Last night was a nice night, even with a bit of shitty drama. We ( Read more... )
