Back in the USSA

I've been back in the States for a couple weeks now been busy equipping myself for hockey this winter and rebuilding my life back stateside.  I'll be heading to San Francisco tomorrow then to Chicago shortly after that.  Once my summertime adventures are over I'll be finding employment and restarting classes here.  I would like to thank everyone in Taiwan for the kindness and hospitality you showed me.  I'll eventually re-title this blog and occasionally post random stuff, thanks for reading along!

Class Trip

Tomorrow is the last day of class so today we took a class trip to have lunch and then visit the Taipei botanical gardens and history museum.

Flowers

Yet more flowers

And even more

Skipped on over to the shilin night market to get presents for the family back home and to get shaved ice cream.

Random pictures

Some various shots from the last several days: the Huang family toy poodle, mirrors edge style building, delicious lunchbox.

Lockdown

Sitting on campus cooling my heels for a half hour here.  No one in the whole country is supposed to be out on The streets to allow for 'military maneuvers'

Medieval Times

Just ordered 3 tickets for the dinner theater in Chicago.  It's a good time and excuse to yell, eat with your hands and get drunk.  Use the coupon code 33thank for a 45% discount.
