I've left Taiwan and gotten back to Cary. I miss the city, friends, and boy like hell but I think I'll make it. However, as my life does not promise to be exciting, I will not continue to post on this blog until I prepare to depart for Taiwan yet again. So far I'm looking at leaving on January 4th, thus arriving on January 5th, but we'll see what happens.
Thank you all for reading and I hope to see most of you in person! Otherwise, until January!

Final Post
Well I guess it's about time to write a final post from Taipei. I fly out tomorrow morning at 10 am, so I have to leave the city at 6 am to get to the airport.
I hate to be melodramatic, but it really does feel like I'm going to leave part of my heart behind. I love this city, the friends I've met here, and most recently the wonderful guy I have to leave behind.
I'll write more this evening but right now I'm at a public computer and people are waiting...
-2:34 PM
I'm sleeping at his apartment tonight. I really don't want to leave. I have thought many times about just not getting on the plane, but I don't have any choice about staying here...
I just have to keep my head and my spirits up while on the plane... it's going to be one of the most emotionally draining 22 hours of my life, but after that I'll be home with all the silver linings that Cary has to offer... food (particularly Mexican), free rent, comfortable beds, family, friends, et cetera.
I also have resolve. It may be small solace, but I keep telling myself: I WILL be back in Taipei come January. I don't care what it takes or what I have to do. I am determined to come back here to the city and people I love so much. So if you are ever in the East Asian neighborhood in 2011 or any year thereafter, let me know!
-12:35 AM
Woke up and I'm feeling worse than ever. In 40 minutes the taxi will pick me up and I'll be dragged away from this city and leave this wonderful guy behind for 6 months. Thinking a lot about just skipping the flight ><. Probably won't but fuck I wish I could just run away and stay here for two months.
