We are back from Taiwan. Here I am awake at 4AM because I cannot sleep and have a bad case of jet lag. Between Michael and I we had not been back to Taiwan for about 7 - 10 years. It was a good time to see our cousins, family and hanging out with Robert.
Some highlights:
1. Figuring out what to do next with the Lee clan, figuring where to eat.
2. Listening to Lily's life story , whilst doris cried. Amazing story of resilience. It amazes me that a woman can go through so much, but cannot make up her mind on directions?
3. Watching Lily, Jerry, and Yaya find their way to qanzhiling mountain.
4. Meeting Saki the love of Robert's life
5. Eating a nice buffet dinner paid by Doris and John's friend Maycon
6. Playing cards with cousins
7. Playing Mahjong with Aunts and Uncle
8. Spending New Years eve with Robert eating Mcdonalds and watching movies
9. Eating a lot
10. Playing arcade games constantly
Michael wants to go to Taiwan every three years...we will see. Michael says he already misses it.
One thing I am grateful is the work conditions, I spoke with my cousins and they do not get vaca days except during the week of new years. They do not get disability. They don't get paid sick days. They often have to work sat and overtime with no extra compensation.

I totally miss Taiwan (but mostly you guys) too. John and I were talking about going back every year! Oh and he has an opportunity to work in LA for a few years and then in 2 years move to Taiwan to work, in which case you guys will have to come ALL THE TIME!
xoxoxoxox glad you are back and jet-lag sucks
D
I miss you guys! I am glad you are back but still won't see you until after Whistler. Sigh. We are too jet set.
