So, yesterday I got impulsive. I decided that I really was just sick of waiting around for these potential jobs to make up their minds. I just don't want to waste any more time here doing nothing except pack and then lose sight of things and just never finish packing. I work very well under pressure but not so well trying to plan. So instead, I went into the travel agency and I said, "I want a ticket to Taiwan for Monday." Yes. That's right, I just walked in and bought a ticket to Taiwan on impulse. It's not that I have that kind of money to blow, but it is because I know I do not want to settle for some mundane, minimum wage, dead end job here in Ottawa. I just need to do something exciting and possibly even a bit crazy.
I will be arriving in Taipei at 9:35pm on Tuesday, February 12 and I must say I am most certainly ecstatic. However, I am now in a serious crunch to get rid of all my stuff. I did I run back to my mom's house to put some stuff in storage a few days ago, but I didn't plan that out very well and did not use the space in my car to its full potential. I was going to do my second and final run today, but the weather is absolutely disgusting and I cannot see out of my back window, so hopefully early tomorrow morning will be better. Since I have left these things so last minute and I must be back in Ottawa by Sunday morning, I will be doing the 5.5 hours drive each way tomorrow; it will be a long day that I am not looking forward to. There is so much to do before you leave the country and I thought that I was prepared to leave last month. I guess one is never really ready but once I am on that plane it just won't matter anymore.
I will be sure to post photos along with my next blog. Landing in Taipei during the Chinese New Year will be quite an experience. I hope I will be able to find a hostel/hotel to stay at until I can find a more permanent place to live.
