We left sunny Tainan and took the Taiwan High Speed Rail back to Taipei for more work. After, my Taiwanese coworker took me to a temple to pray. I had the bad spirits removed from my body, and the positive energies that I lost brought back...this sure doesn't happen everyday!
For dinner, I tried pizza with mashed potatoes as a topping. I imagined it to be very strange but it was actually quite tasty.
The hectic travels and the jetlag have taken a toll on my body, so I went for a massage. It was the most pain I've ever felt but it was well worth it.
I learned something neat today. 97 is the current year in Taiwan as the first year was 1911, the year Taiwan became the Republic of China. 2008 - 1911 = 97. This format is even used on official documents. Today's date would be Feb. 27, 97. How neat?
I had such a great time here, loved the work and experienced as much of the culture as I could. The Taiwanese are some of the friendliest people I have ever met, LOVE, LOVE them! I will miss the food, especially since I won't be able to afford any when I get to the UK tomorrow! For my last night, I'm going to get some much needed rest.
From Taipei, 再見, goodbye!
What's more comfort food than pizza? Pizza with mashed potatoes!! Yummers! Sounds very midwest of you :)
