Taiwan!!!!!!!!!

Less than a week until Tom and I go to Taiwan and I can't wait!!!!!!!!! I'm at school right now and my kids are doing a test so I've been looking up things online, and now I just want this week to be over!

We are arriving in Taipai on Monday, late afternoon, and we are going to spend the first night at a hostel, right by one of the most famous markets in Taiwan. Supposedly there is tons of great food and shopping to be had there.

On the Tuesday we are going to head out towards a place called Kengting, which is good for beaches and sightseeing. We are going to rent mopeds one day and cruise around the area, which will be exciting, although my motorist skills might be a little shaky.

For the middle part of the week we are going to hang around that area, and maybe head out to an island one night and camp out, cause Tom is thinking of bringing a tent.

Then on Friday we need to head back to Taipei because our flight leaves early on Saturday morning to bring us back to dreary old Korea (rainy season is in full effect right now).

The good news is that I only come back for just under two weeks and then it is off to Japan for a visa run. Originally I was going to go by myself, but Andrew, one of my co-workers, decided that he is going to come along for the adventure. We were going to head to Tokyo, but it turns out that the city we arrive at is closer to Korea than it is to Tokyo, so we would have to spend 5 hours on a train, and double the money of our ferry ticket, getting there and back, so now I think we are going to stick around the Fukuoka area. Andrew likes the casino, maybe more than I do, so hopefully we can find one in the area to amuse ourselves for a few hours.

Anyhow my kids are starting to finish their tests so I need to amuse them with a youtube video or something. Hope everyone is well!
