Current music: Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D by Bach
After much swearing loudly in the streets (people don't speak English and stare anyways, so I can curse like a sailor with no consequences) I am able to walk again. My makeshift cast out of a Fairweather scarf saved my life.
I have learned that Taiwan pretty much shuts down on Sundays. So I was successfully able to navigate the streets on a bicycle and live to tell the tale. I'm going to graduate to scooter as soon as I get my ARC, but I found out you need to take a test to get a scooter license. Seeing as how I have seen people on scooters do crazy shit that I'm not even going to mention, I think my chances of passing are pretty high.
Found two possible apartments today. I now have to pick which of the following I value more: a bathtub, or a big balcony with a gorgeous view.
I'm going to start a thing I miss of the day, just to keep my sanity. The opening submission is: La Maison in Ottawa. My home away from home. Except even their cheap beer would be expensive by Taiwanese standards.
I have a curriculum now, so I'm off to plan my week. And hide from the typhoon.
Cheers
