In Taipei They Call Me Godzilla...With A Beard!

Holla to all you folks back on the continet of North America. So After 3 plane rides, 2 layovers, 4 airplane meals, 3 trips to mc donalds, 5 hours of searching for my hostel, 1 total culture shocks, 1 time having a bum in LA tell me that I shouldn't go into where I was heading as "my kind" aren't welcome down there, and all that I sit here in Taiwan, Taipei to be exact. As for the title yesterday as I walking around downtown 3 girls pointed at me and said something along the lines of godzilla and the one motioned around her ace which i can only assume means beard. So I have taken on this mantra and it will stikc with me for the duration of my layover....which ends sunday.
So on to the hardest part of travelling.
1 not being able to pick up the phone and call Luba I used to be able to take some solice in the fact that if I didn't talk to her one day it was alright because I wold most likely see her the next day.
2 not being able to pick up the phone and shot the shit with my friends
3 not being able to communicate very well with anyone (aside from those at the hostel)
4 adjusting to the change in time. on average I have been sleeping 14 and a half hours. I am told this is normal but I feel like such a waste. to put it in perspective I am writing at 4:25 pm on a friday and at home it is exactly 2:28 am on a thursday.
and number 5 trying to find things in taipei that don't have fish in them being that I am allergic. I have accidentally ordered 2 meals with fish as the main course and had to try to explain why i couldn't eat it to people who don't speak english. fun I know!!

anyway the dude's computer who I am borrowing would like it back so I gottajet y'all. I will probably write next from the Beautiful shores of some beach in australia!

Peace Peters

p.s. it was +14 today and winder than I can ever remember saskatchewan being! australia's forecast....+37....oh yeah!!
