朋友,
Twelve days until I leave with all my earthly belongings (that fit in two suitcases and one carry-on) for a long flight to... Seattle. Right. Visiting my brother John for a few days before I really leave. But in fifteen days, off I go from Seattle to Taipei 台北, and Taipei 台北 to Kaohsiung 高雄, all in just fourteen hours spent on a few planes. Technology these days, huh?
I'll be trying to keep up this blog throughout my year in Taiwan, and maybe beyond. Just as I have no idea what to expect once I arrive at 9am August 1st (that's 9pm July 31st to you in the Eastern Time Zone), I have no idea what this blog will become. Your suggestions are welcome.
For now, that's all I have. I just bought some very magenta luggage (intensity of magenta inversely corresponds to price, apparently), so I should probably get back to filling that instead of posting on this blog. What's there to say about Berwyn, anyway?
再見!
Author's Note: I will be occasionally writing some Chinese on this blog. I realize that most of you won't have a clue what it says. Try hovering over the characters with your mouse... hope it works!

P.S. Here in Japan, there is...get this...WINTER SONATA PACHINKO. The really scary part is that it's Winter Sonata Pachinko 2.
I start a blog then everyone follows. Bryan ressurects Meemur and now Katie has this.
Sigh. (Even though Katie hasn't seen my blog...lol)

Hey there fake id,
I'm pumped that a few of us plan to blog this next year! Oh, the possibilities!
And what is this awesome Chinese scroll-over feature you've got? How can I get it for my blog?
Looking forward to meeting you!
Vicky
katie, i'm in your blogger profile picture!!! this is so exciting!!
There are a bunch of question marks in your post - are they supposed to be the Chinese characters and I just don't have the font?
Let me know if there is a certain program or font I should have - cause I'd like to see them throughout your posts - and the hover thing worked over them too.
TAIWAN! A place I love more than words... Well, your first day expect heat, unbelievable, humid heat and a week of killer jet lag. After that expect awesomeness and really good food. That is all.
