My Taiwan Adventure

My eyes weren't yet open and I could hear the purr of my airconditioner. The thought of another day of blistering heat curled me up in bed a little tighter. When I dared to crack open a window I was delighted to find the day dawned cool, cloudy and fresh. Yet, all I could think is "I want CANADA."

I padded into the kitchen only to find the boiled water was dry. After a moment of cursing frustration I focused on peeling a pomello which is like a giant grapefruit in a very thick green skin. By the time I was done that the water had boiled anew and I sat down to a breakfast of fruit and a nice peanut butter sandwhich. I shared my repast with one of my roommates and enjoyed a little banter before making a bee-line for the apartment door with my knapsack. My mission: get out of the grey and into the green. Destination: Unknown.

I ended up at the zoo... it was great and lifted my spirits.
More on that later. Internet time is up.
Best to all.
