Back Stateside

I’m home, so to speak. I even bypassed Philadelphia in favor of spending the holidays at my mother’s place. Life is quiet and snowy, and vibrant with animal life.

I’m not entirely adjusted to the time change yet—for example, I’m writing this at 9am on a Sunday morning, because I’d run out of interesting things to do online—but that’s in many ways a good thing, because now I act like a properly socialized human being.

There are very many things I miss about Taiwan. Three months for a stay is simply not long enough; I was very much spoiled by my ten months in Germany.

Look at me, obnoxiously talking about my travels as though they were Sunday morning routines.

I’m going to unwind for the next few days, maybe sort some photos, listen to some music, read some blogs. Be with family.

That’s what this time of year is for, after all.

    Strange. Doesn’t feel like you’ve been there for three months.

    Glad you’re back safe and sound. Get hammered by bad weather at all?

    So, doesn’t feel like 3 months from any frame of reference, then!

    Weather was actually quite pleasant. From what I’ve read, autumn is the most temperate time of year in Taiwan, with the typhoon season ending in August and the rainy season not starting late winter or early spring.

    I did see a couple rainy days, but they were few and far between. Weather stayed in the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit throughout November, for the most part, sometimes even higher.

    Hey Bro,

    new theme looks just gorgeous. Christmas days are over this year and family just left. We didn’t chat in a while.

    Hope to hear you soon and thanks for the comments on flickr. Going to upload more soon.

    Take care and say hi to your mum
