| This may not be the best picture, but I can't stop looking at it. It makes my heart happy. |
It finally happened. It happened as I sat at a large table filled with food I wasn't all that into, being embarrassed completely by the Elders, and being forced into eating that food I did not want to eat...
I love it here. My catchphrase of the past few months returned tonight, "I am so happy!"
It may have taken two weeks, one day, my luggage getting here 4 days later than myself, a bout of sickness with some Chinese drugs, giant bugs in our cupboards, crying in the middle of teaching a class, eating squid and giant shrimp, and riding my stupid bike in the rain for like two hours, but it happened.
And all I have to say is: it sure took long enough!
Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!!
(maybe the fireworks will stop soon so I can sleep...but I doubt it.)

Even with a picture - I still do not believe that you did in fact - put that shrimp into your mouth, chewed it, tasted it and swallowed it! Another question is...have you eaten any vegetables since you have been in Taiwan? I am glad that you are "so happy"! I knew it would take a week or two, but that "one" extra day started to make me wonder if you ever going to adjust!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible experience you are having!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that last picture is cute. It took me a while to warm up to shrimp, but I love it now!
