Things are still pretty wet over here in Taiwan, even after last night's torrential rain. Most of the afternoon has been thundery and rainy and I only hope that it'll be a little drier later when we head out for supper...we're going to our ever-trusty Sushi Express as we feel 'homesick' for Japanese cuisine already. All in all, Taiwanese food is ( Read more... )

Well, it's not been a particularly thrilling day thus far (Sander is still asleep!) but I've done a bit of work on my languages blog, Aspiring Polyglot. I'm still quite amazed that the blog sees over 100 hits a day at the moment. Not quite up there with all the big players yet but I'll get there ( Read more... )

Just a quick update as I don't really have all that much news. :P ( Read more... )

+ Completed Tomb Raider Legend with some help from Sander. We've taken it in turns to fully complete the levels (eg. finding all the rewards and doing the time trials). It's shocking how easy the game is and how little time it takes to complete. I really wish there had been more than 8 levels...

Well, the weekend's half over already as it's gone midnight here and is technically Easter Sunday now.

The weather's finally beginning to pick up! It's been getting warmer and warmer and today's a beautiful sunny day here in Hsinchu! I'll be heading out in a bit to top up on some seriously-needed Vitamin D (and hopefully lose my ghostly appearance). =)

Also loving listening to ICRT online, possibly the best radio station on this island. It's an ( Read more... )

It's been a few days since my last post. I've been a little busy with work and such and quite frankly haven't been in the mood for updating my LJ...had a few down moments this week but I think I've overcome them ( Read more... )

Still no photos to post. I'll try and do those this weekend if I have the time...Sander and I want to try and see V for Vendetta as it looks pretty good ( Read more... )
