Envious, huh? =P
In Taipei right now, hanging out before heading to Japan. I seem to have lots of luck every time I travel to a foreign place. First, I always manage to pick the most expensive places to go (UK, Europe, JAPAN). Second, something serious always happens o_O Is it really a sign that I should just be a hermit and stay in the US?
Ever since the earthquake happened, I've been tethering on the line of to go, or not to go. Is this experience really worth the danger? But it's just an earthquake; of course I should still go! I mean, Taiwan has earthquakes all the time too and that hasn't stopped me from coming. Then you have a tsunami....well, a tsunami isn't likely to occur where I'm going. But then news comes out that the major worry is radiation. A totally different beast that you can't predict or alert yourself of because it has no smell, sound, touch, or taste. So.....to go or not to go?
Ultimately, my conclusion is that I still want to go. I've done so much preparation to go and am not ready to give it all up just yet. So, just gotta believe - "Good things take time." And I'd better hurry and cram Japanese. What great motivation to study, huh? *laughs*
On a happier note, I've spent way too much money shopping. Will share pics + reviews later. Miss you guys more than you can imagine! Everyone stay safe and we'll keep in touch!
