Back In Taiwan

Just a quick posting to let you know we're back in Taiwan.

We left the UK house at 7:00am on the 5th October (UK time) and did not touch Taiwan soil until 12:30pm on the 6th October (UK time), thats a 30 or more hours of travelling hell, but we made it admist delays upon delays. I swear, I don't think I would want to do long haul flights for a long time, especially with a toddler, and to be more precise with Singapore Airlines anymore. I think their service has gone down considerably since I flew them a year ago.

Anyway, we got safely and at the moment, trying to reset our body clocks to Taiwan time. There's still a lot of un-packing to do, but one step at a time eh? What's more important is that I had chance to update the blog with photos and posts. For the past two weeks, I had to resort to notepad for blogging. Better than nothing I suppose!

Here are some more photos in around Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester. I took most of these on the last few days while driving my grandparents in and out of Chinatown in Manchester city centre. Enjoy!

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long.  Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city.  It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding.  Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days.  But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack.  FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
