My Taiwan Adventure

145 It's possible

I promised myself when I came to Taiwan that McD's is last-resort food. McDonald's breakfast this morning was a warm, friendly hug. The McMuffin tasted amazing. I can close my eyes and relive the road trips with my good friends J +Em that started with this self-same McMuffin back in Calgary. The warm and happy feeling that came with that first couple of bites almost made me weep.

Incidentally, I've tried calling a few people in the last couple of weeks only to get bad connections. So if the phone rings and you don't hear someone - it's probably me. I can hear the "Hello. Hello? Is anyone there?" clear as a bell. Alas, nobody can hear my response... "Hello! Can you hear me? I miss you. I'll try some other time." Inside I cry out "I'm still out here. Don't forget about me."

I miss my friends and I'm emotional this morning. Only one month from now I'll be on a plane heading back to Canada and I wish it were tomorrow, if not today. Not because I hate Taiwan. Indeed, I love it here. I'm just sad right now.

Wednesdays aren't terribly busy for me but I have a couple of ambitious grading projects that I want to get under-way before the end of the week so will focus on that instead of McDonald's, road trips, and missing friends.

Don't feel sad for me. Smile instead - I have friends to miss.
