Hello from Taiwan!

Hello friends! I wanted to drop in and say hi. I'm in Puli, Taiwan right now waiting for dinner to be served. We're having Shabu Shabu tonight. Yeah, if you never had it before, I will have to take you sometime. It's so much fun and the food is great! But of course nothing beats Shabu Shabu in Taiwan. It's cheap and you can eat a lot more. :) I don't understand how they stay so thin over here. It really baffles me. Well, actually a lot of things baffles me here, but that will be another topic.

Well, today we drove all over Puli looking at different sites. It was fun, but a lot of driving. Then we can home and my sister-in-law took me to get my hair washed, scalp massaged, my neck massaged, and my hair styled. All for $5! This is why I love it here. Everything is so cheap. She then took me to some clothing stores, but of course, the clothes are way too small for me, but they are so cute!

Next week we leave for China. We won't be seeing the Great Wall. According to my parents, it's too cold to go. And since they are paying for this trip, they get to pick where to go. So we will be going to Guiling, China instead. It's one of the most beautiful place in China. So, that in itself should be exciting. I will see the Great Wall one of these days! :)

I wanted to drop in to say hi and hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year's!

Love you and miss you all terribly!

OH BOY!

I've never had such an extensive birthday in my life! It officially ended yesterday night. I had my last birthday dinner and now I'm getting ready for the Christmas festivities!

Well, it's been quite hectic at work the last couple of weeks. We've moved back into our new and improved building 3 weeks ago and then now the year-end stuff. It's amazing how working with numbers can keep you busy all day long. To all my accountant friends...I admire you.

In 2.5 weeks I will be leaving for Taiwan. I'm looking forward to this trip. I just found out that we will be making another trip to China for New Year's. My mom hasn't told me exactly where in China, but I'm thinking I might even get to see the Great Wall! We're going with a tour group and not by ourselves. So, for that, I'm excited. I do hope we get to see the Great Wall.

I really can't believe that 2006 is coming to an end and 2007 is just around the corner. I hope each one of you will have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! I'm sure I'll be blogging before, during and after my trip. I will finally have a digital camera, so I'm pretty sure I will be camera happy and present you with lots of lots pictures! :)

Love you all!
