red, white and blue

mom, dad and jeff got home today so it's feeling more like home around here. my mom has the same cough as i do so we talk between coughing fits. kind of gross. fajtown bought juice and popsicles though which have helped quite a bit, at least psychologically.

i think i might go on a blogging break for a while until i figure out what the name of the DC blog will be. all i'm doing around austin is trying not to spend money and packing up my room so my parents can move into the little house.. not too thrilling to read or write about.

for now though, here are some pictures of familiar places in taoyuan.
the flashcard section in the stationery store. i guess they're really business cards or little calling cards or something, but i used them as flashcards for chinese.
the doraemon section.
down the street from the dorm.
chair store on the way home from bobo's/on the walk to the bus that goes to taipei.
the old bowling alley.
orange cafe.
fried chicken at the market.
this is the meat i had to walk by to get to my fruit ladies in the fruit market.
note the hooves.
foreign food section in carrefour which means french, italian, canned and jarred foods of all kinds.

i still have some pictures on my camera that i need to upload once i unpack. maybe that will be a project for tomorrow. time to try to sleep. goodnight, america!
