My Taiwan Adventure

4:30 am - Almost Packed / Still not Paid / No offers of rides to the airport or transport for the keyboard.

I have now abandoned the thought of a single suitcase on the way home, and am going for the full two. I am also vaguely paranoid that one of the bags will go missing on the journey.

I've never counted the hours to a flight like I am now. Around hour 19 I found myself in desperate need of some down time and took what I thought would be a restful sleep. I am so exhausted I thought that nothing could keep me awake, rest was not in the cards. My last minute gift from Taiwan is some particularly persistent mosquito visitors. They dive-bomb my sleeping figure. The electric bat (a Christmas present from Tom) is packed out of reach. After pulling the covers over my head, I can still hear them. I give up in favor of a shower and then eyeball my invitng sheets. Half an hour later I'm still battling the mosquitos in spite of being armed with the bat. I give up.

I now have a cup of tea and am staring at the keyboard, wondering how many trips I'm going to have to make from Shihjh to Taipei. Hmmm, keyboard, luggage and a scooter. It's going to be a fun day. Suddenly 14 hours with nothing to do sounds okay.
