This year's winter is crazayyy! Seriously, we didn't have so much snow in one winter for the last 20 years! It's snowing almost every week and the winter services can't keep up with the removal, because it just doesn't stop. They clear a road and 1h later it's fully covered again. It's a vicious circle. But I had to go to the neighboring small town today, because I had to send some packages to my friends. I hope they arrive in one piece in a week or two :-) We'll see.
2 ...that I have the most awesome girl in the world!
Speaking of packages, I finally received another one, this time from Taiwan. My lovely girl sent me many yummy things, but the main purpose was a SIM card, so I can call her upon my arrival in Taipei. Ain't she sweet? Besides that, she sent me many Taiwanese sweets, Japanese Matcha milk tea and two pairs of chopsticks. I was so happy, because I'm a known chocolate addict and as I have mentioned in one of my previous posts, I'm collecting chopstics. She picked very beautiful ones, that are made of bamboo. That's my favorite material, because it's so easy to hold. Thank you soooo much :-)
3 ...that internet is a very serious business.
Regarding my previous post, I have to tell you, it created a lot of buzz. 41 bit.ly clicks and over 60 comments in one day is a lot for my blog. I know some of you said I should ignore all these haters and I totally understand you. But at least I got some more traffic on my blog because of them, since they had a good laugh on my expense before. And the discussion was good, a lot of different opinions were shared. I know that there will always be ignorant and opinionated people, who will see me as someone I am not. That's up to them and most of the time, I ignore them, but sometimes I don't, hehe. That's what this blog is for. And thanks for all Your support, it means a lot to me. It was an awesome day in my Kafkaesque life :-P
4 ...that some of my most recent followers are really awesome!
Big thanks to my Croatian friend Saša, who has a big passion for Japan and always supports me. Big thanks to the Philippine dearies Krissy and R u s s, who just started to follow recently and always give great comments. And Russ was so kind, to help me with a HTML code I've been looking for. Salamat po :-) And another special thanks to a special lady: Ruma. She's Japanese, but guess what? She was born in Taiwan during WWII! And that makes her my oldest commentator on this blog and I feel very honored. Last but not least, big thanks to two awesome guys: Amogh, my fellow blogger from India and Chris, fellow blogger from Malaysia. Thank you, guys :-)
5... that I only have few more days left to my flight.
And a lot of things go through my mind, like: Wow, everything will change! - I'm gonna fly again! - I'm gonna be soon in Asia again! - No more snow, yay! (it was 30°C today in Taipei!) - I'm gonna be with a woman again! - Will I look good on 'the first date'? - I better brush up my Chinese fast! - I'm gonna be a typical tourist again! - Chinese new year is here! All that goes through my mind and much more... Wow, time really flies...
6... that my mom will never learn, how to hold chopsticks.
I'm sure your mom can hold them better :-)
