random thoughts.
1. i secretly wish i was a fob. yup, that’s right chris hwang! i am admitting it to the world. 
2. i hate that no matter how hard i try, i still have a slight american accent. i guess it’s hard to get rid of after living in america for so long.
3. it’s now the tropical rainy season. i HATE that my pants are soaked all the time, and they NEVER dry. it is SO uncomfortable. I hate even more when my socks/feet are wet and they never dry. i hate hate hate even more wearing sandals in the rain and having yucky dirty sandy water between my toes. so um… looks like it’s a lose-lose-lose for me.
4. today, someone asked me if i was out of high school yet. yay.
5. i am deeply afraid of thinking about the fact that my grandma won’t live forever.
6. i am working a LOT of hours, both for work work and for grad school. but somehow, i don’t really mind. Usually i’m kicking and screaming, but maybe i’m just becoming more of a workaholic.
7. winnie tang is coming to see me in taipei
8 . i miss the american dunkin donuts. sweet, sugary, and fatty. here they are not sugary enough.
9. sometimes i get lonely after work. despite taipei’s never-ending number of choices, nothing is ever as fun by yourself.
10. can someone tell me why subway tastes different here?? it’s the same ingredients… but just tastes different.
re: FOB. in india, i felt like i was like FOB-180…i was totally the foreigner there…curious, in Taiwan, do they treat Westerners differently? We’re known as NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) and everything is different…stores have NRI specials and everything.
adding dunkin donuts and subway to your welcome home week extravaganza.
my brother is in taipei too and looking for someone to someone to enjoy taiwan with too. haha. fyi.
yay for taipei and reunions~!
