High As A Kite - Part 1

We went for walks on Sunday, just so to get out of the house. We didn't go very far, just to SYS Memorial Hall since the weather was clear and dry, just a bit on the chilly side with some wind. In fact, I have started to feel cold in Taiwan now, when this time last year I was OK with the dip in temperatures. Its about 13 degrees celcius in Taiwan at the moment. Back in UK, this would have been nothing, but I think I am starting to climatise to the weather in Taiwan. Which is good I suppose, as when summer comes, I shouldn't get so hot and bothered, but as always, there is a downside in that if I go back to UK, I would be freezing my knackers off.

Anyway, here's a few photos taken on the day where I flew my first kite in Taiwan. We bought a bright red Pikachu (from Pokemon) kite for about $150 from one of the vendor grannies who patrol the SYS area selling their wares.

Rainy Weekend

What a way to end the weekend, being soaked top-to-bottom in heavy rain! It came very suddenly and we just wanted to get home, so we took the chance and ran all the way home in the rain. It was refreshing actually, I have had a lot on my mind recently and the being soaked certainly gave the brain a bit of a reboot. But then I realised Taiwan rain is quite acidic, not a good thing. Anyhow, I have updated my homepage with something useful for the lunch hours. Its a random lunch selector, which basically displays a picture of a local eatery which we would go to for lunch. It has been pain in the rear-end when deciding where to go for lunch. There are so many choices in the area where I work, so having something like this may ease the troublesome decision which we all make on a daily basis. I've also made use of the ned 8MB ADSL line by doing a bit of downloading and listening to online radio. Certainly makes a difference and if you guys can get it, then get it! I just read th...

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK...
