Aliright.....it's time for Chinese again! I am back HOME to Taiwan. Crazy, to call Taiwan my home, but I do feel this way now...well for the time being.
As I drove the bus home from Taipei last night, I took it in through a whole different lense. What I used to think was ugly, dirty, polluted and full of too many people, now seems clean, and not so many people! Amazing how visiting a different country can compeletly change one's persepctive.
Our brain's are amazing machines inside of our bodies. They produce so many thoughts, ideas, actions and perform so many functions. Culture shock is a good trick for it to learn how to deal with. When I first got to the Philippines I had a bit of culture shock, English signs, English being spoken, being able to speak to people. I didn't know quite how to handle it. Now, it's just the opposite again. I am back in my silent world. Back to getting my pointer finger out when I want something to eat or drink. My mouth now has to learn to be shut again. But hopefully not for too long, in 3 months my Chinese should be much better.
I have two weeks left of my vacation that I am going to dedicate to getting my life off on the right foot here. Finding a place to live, getting that set up, relaxing, exploring Taiwan and making some art. I hope this finds you all in peace and thanks for following my travels. May there be many more to come for all of us and let's work together, focus our energies and keep the positive vibes flowing.
Peace and Love!
Jess
