My first Taiwanese adventure is apparently going to be getting to school, since naturally I forgot to make the request for an airport pickup in time to actually, you know, get it. But okay, okay, s'cool, after all, I once managed to find my parents in Tokyo with no help, no directions, barely enough cash, coming from hundreds of miles away and with only a vague idea of where I should even begin to look for them! If I have accomplished that, when I was only eighteen even, surely my incredibly mature current self should have no trouble locating an entire school.

We can ignore the fact that I'd already been in Japan for a month, spoke far better Japanese than I do Chinese, and even then circumstances drove to to become a screaming, cursing, hysterical mess in a hotel lobby across the street from Disneyland Tokyo, the happiest place on earth.

But I will be fine.

I leave two weeks from tomorrow, I have had my blood drawn and my chest x-rayed, and all I think I still need to do is like, laundry and buying some clothes. Mostly jeans. Finding jeans that fit me here is hard enough, I don't really want to try my luck in Taiwan, since I'm probably going to end up wearing skirts often enough as it is.

Will you be able to get in contact with people from the airport?

No. That makes it more exciting!

~EXCITEMENT~

......This is an adventure in the making all right.

You should take notes, so you can write a book about it later.

Whenever something amazingly terrible happens, I will be sure to whip out my laptop and make a journal entry about it. ALL WILL BE RECORDED.

EXCELLENT. I anticipate your tribulations in the least schedenfreude way possible.
