As you read this, barb is standing in her hotel in Taipei Taiwan.
HI!!!!
so yea, i am in Taiwan for spring break and so far so good.
the plane ride over was LONG and there were 3 legs of it.
i was able to stay awake for just about all 19 hours of it. but on the last 2.5 hour leg from Osaka to Taipei I did fall asleep.
I am very glad that I didn't sleep becasue i was the only one who didn't have jet lag this morning! :-)

so yea i am here and tired after all the running around i did today.
there was a cycling trade show that went on today and i was lucky enough to be able to register and get in for free. and then i got to meet up with Roger and meet Amy from unicycle.com and Kris Holm (he's amazing!)
but in order to get there, i had to jump through a bunch of hoops and people who were trying to help me didn't speak english and those who did speak english were mean and didn't want to try and translate for me at all! but eventually i did get roger on candys phone and we came and got us and showed us around for the 45 mins we were able to be there.
i got about 45 pounds of books for Joe to have, and there are only like 4 books, so just figure that out!
umm yea, so it is 9.30 at night here on friday and we are thinking of going out to a jazz club later this evening so i gotta go.
i am not sure if i am going to go or not, but we will see in like half hour if i am still this tired and just wiped from carrying around 45 pounds of book across half of Taipei!

love you all!

Barb that sounds kick ass! I am so jealous. I hope you went to the jazz club. I am curious to hear what a jazz club would be like in Taiwan. I hope you continue to have a great time. See you soon.

Barb! I happen to know that you have returned from your adventure and inquiring minds want to know... HOW WAS IT!?!?! What did you do, what did you see, what did you eat. In other words... Update please.

Barb-
You've been standing in that hotel room an AWFULLY LOOOONG time! Don't you think it is about time to do something else?
