I am in Taipei. It's mostly awesome. If you've called or texted me this month, I haven't gotten it.

Today was another good day. First, I filed my visa paperwork, which was stressful but seems to have been accomplished. Though I won't know for sure until tomorrow, so fingers crossed. Then, I worked as the barista in my friend Grace's coffee shop while Grace went to her job interview, which was relaxed and fun (plus her mom made me lunch!). Finally ( Read more... )

The owner of the @Cafe on Rainier Ave had a problem. She had an interview on Thursday for her dream fashion job, but her only employee had to work elsewhere that day and couldn't cover for her.

I'll miss them. Then I went back to my studio to get my bag and to say goodbye to the studio. It was a good studio. It was there when I really needed a new place ( Read more... )

I've spent the past few days packing up and preparing to move. I've been eating at all my favorite restaurants, eating lots of Rainier cherries, and trying to see various friends before I go.
