Thanks I love her music too.

Oh, Friday you leave! WOW! We shall miss you and look forward to your visits once again. I know you will take some great pictures with the camera so it's a good trade.

Gonna be tough for you for a while not having private access to the web. I suspect you will make good use of the time.

I was looking at the August 27, 2006 Thread XXX-that's the one you posted the first installment of photos. This year we have them all in one place for quick access. It was so good of you to contribute to the Lair with the travel log of your adventures.

Yes, I'm going to pick up a little MP3 player, and play, guess what? My Lair Music!

Plus there are speeches and songs and what not available to download to my little memory card, which I can then take home and play on the MP3 player.

So maybe I'll pop in briefly from an Internet cafe over the next couple months.

And due to visa needs (first you apply for the visa in Taiwan, then you must leave the country), I'll go to Thailand once more for a couple days. I'll go on some of the cheesy tours and snap lots of pictures!

Oh guess what? Part of my plan was to do manual labor jobs until I finished my certifications (called MCSD), and I also applied to the local transportation company to drive a bus part time. But when they, plus those two little placement chicks, all gave me the cold shoulder (for these grubby little jobs! I'm still in shock), that's when I felt most frustrated. But just yesterday the bus company called for me to come take the driving test. Took three weeks for that! Then I must do an interview, then check references.

I laughed, and even thought about staying, but it's just part time, and that's spreading myself too thin. I can finish the tests in Taiwan, and make a profit each month at the same time. In fact, I probably should have done that anyway, but I was a bit stressed and sick of Taiwan at the time.

Who knows, I might return in as little as 10 months. I can finish the MCSD, then job hunt from Taiwan. Those certs. are so impressive I might even get everything set up before I return.

Or maybe I'll stay in Taiwan for the next 5 years, you never know.
