Yes, I am still alive and well in Taipei. I leave Monday. I really cannot believe that in just a few days I will be thrust back into a mess of jet lag, culture shock, holidays, and family time. My adventures have been wonderful. I am very thankful that I got to spend so much time with Katy. We are making an effort to avoid the fact that we have no idea when we will see each other after i leave Monday.
