Vacationing in Taipei, Taiwan

Ahhh so yesterday (August 5th local time) I arrive in Taipei, Taiwan. The last time I have been here was when I was 5 years old and I vaguely remember anything about Taiwan. I'll be here for almost 3 weeks so I'll try to find some interesting things to talk about. I have a few school friends here so we are going to try to hit up as much as possible before we part.

On the other hand, some things I have noted since my arrival...

1.) Really humid -_-. As a native Californian I already started sweating the minute I exited the airport with all my luggage. It isn't necessarily hot (82 degrees F currently), but the humidity smothers you like no other. Apparently people also blast the AC 24/7 here so it is quite nice indoors.

2.) I arrived just in time for the typhoon season, so when I woke up this morning to heavy rains it was a bit welcoming. Hopefully it will help fight the humid weather I experienced yesterday.

3.) Big trucks and buses have blistering LED lights on the rear that blind me when I was getting a ride from the airport.

4.) Everyone seems to be riding scooters, I think I should rent one too :)

5.) I probably should have continued learning Mandarin, now I feel lost when it comes to reading signs.

Hopefully I'll get some good pictures today though. We'll see.

Moving towards Blogs

Since the end of my undergrad college days, my interest in posting new content on Facebook has fallen greatly. I have always wanted to do a journal, but I have never found the time to get one started. I guess it is better late than never :).

Anyways I will be using this space to digitize some of the memories that come across my daily life. I have interests in many things from computers, games, photography, cars, etc and they will find their way onto this blog at one point or another. I'll also drop some posts reminiscing the good times I had in college.

Lets get things started...
