You make me sick. Homesick that is… I know you lucky bums
are getting excited about Thanksgiving right about now. You’re probably all ready to fatten yourself up
for the coming winter. I can nearly hear you going turkey crazy, bragging about
how much
you eat every year, and how you fall asleep immediately after feasting
HAHAHA.
Some
modern jackass will say it’s due to the trypto-whatever that makes you
sleepy. How impressive. Another will say trypto-whatever’s in chicken
too, so we eat it all the time, duh. Well you know what? The thought of you is making me homesick! And
my writing this is making me hungry!

Made In China - Part 1
Temporarily living the life of a Chinese factory worker, my first week in China has been one filled with hard, rewarding work that will directly give clean water to people. I have been happy to help solve some problems with practical engineering, and have also learned much. At the end of the week, I became ill and had no spirit to write. Now that I am alive again, and able to get around the Great Firewall of China using a VPN, here is my first post since leaving Taiwan.

End of Chapter 1
I awoke with a sense of surprise; this day had come too soon. I should have known - days like this have a tendency to come too soon. My things were packed, and I was up ahead of the sun as planned. I was well prepared, but didn’t feel ready to take on my final day in Hualien. I like my days to be full, but this full day was one to be taken on because it would require careful reflection of my time here and many goodbyes. The reflection I can handle; it’s the goodbyes that get me.

Safety First!
Following up that lengthy previous post with a brief(er) one about dangers and safety. Also included are some completely unrelated photos, for your viewing pleasure - finally got my camera fixed.
"安全第一!" (Safety first!) is something many people here have been saying to me. However, it seems they do not very well follow their own advice...
