Last week, I got my visa for my stay in Taiwan. This made my day much better because all morning I'd had half a frozen face, from the ever so lovely dentists office. They need to fill yet another cavity before I leave. Anyway, I am all finished the paperwork and was so excited to find out that this morning, my plane ticket was finally purchased! My first plane ride will go from Vancouver, in the sky for fourteen hours (and  I'm ONLY given two meals,) with a two hour lay over in Hong Kong, then a short flight from there to Taoyuan where I am staying for the whole year! I am very happy because on my way there, and back, I get to stop in Vancouver and visit with family. My journey officially begins! Stay tuned for more!!!
