CHEERS! Tomorrow is the last day of training! I'm excited to be leaving Taipei, but am a little apprehensive about having to start new again. It feels like I've been here awhile and have already made some pretty good friends, and I have to leave them. I guess on the positive side this just means I'll have people throughout Taiwan to go visit on the weekends! It's amazing how close you become with people when you're thrown into the right situation. Last night we all went out a pub style bar, and watched an f-1 race....? and a soccer game. But again, it's just good to just get out. Tonight I just got back from the night market...I forgot to take my camera...so I didn't get any pictures. Just think...skinny street with every single crevice of this street full of people, food, and various kinds of fake name brand purses, watches, jewelry, etc. It was a sight to be seen.
We actually have a 'graduation' ceremony tomorrow, ha. They are treating us to a wine and cheese party at the HESS president's house. I also will FINALLY get to go to Lou Dong and apartment search and hope that I find a liveble place. I found out today that basically people in Lou Dong and the surrounding cities do not speak English. Here in Taipei almost everyone speaks at least a little English, so it's quite easy to get away with not knowing Mandarin. So I'm actually starting to get a little nervous about knowing ANY!! I guess I'll just have to learn quickly...right? Here in Taipei, it's kind of easy to forget you're in a foreign country, the toilets are western, you can find western food and again English is pretty prominent. Well I hope all is well, again keep me updated...em on the wedding planning and the bachelorette party too!

Hi Megan
Good luck searching for an apartment. I will definately send you a long message about the wedding and the party this weekend. You will definately be missed. I know you will make up for it December by having a blast at the wedding. Miss you and love you. Talk to you soon.
Hi Megs,
Love the pic! Are you sure you are working or just having a great vacation? Lou Dong is on the coast right? Good luck looking for an apartment. Hopefully there will be someone to help you find something. We miss you and think of you each day. Hope all will go well. We sure will have a blast at the wedding!!!
Love you
Hi Megan,
I am glad you finally got your suitcase packed. It was making me nervous. I love the pictures, makes me want to visit. Adam has moved out, so it is quiet here. maybe I'll come to Taiwan. I need a different continent. Stay away from tofu. I don't think they'll have fun this weekend, cause I won't be there either.
Love, Aunt Susan

Hey Megan,
It was fun to see the pictures of your apartment. I hope things become a little smoother. Casey's big news is that she got glasses today! We went out to lunch to celebrate. She's excited to show them off in DC this weekend. We'll be sure to toast to you and your bravery. We love you. Aunt Janet and Casey
Hey Megan,
That airplane looked so awesome. That's so cool how a tv pops up from the armrest! I wish I could go on that. I can't wait to see you at the wedding in December. It will be so much fun.
