Five Weeks in Taiwan

Oh wow, five weeks already, really? Giant FAIL on my part on updating the blog in that I basically haven't posted anything at all in the past five weeks... Oops. I'll try to keep up from now on... Everything has been going well on the whole, apart from the two of us taking turns getting sick on and off for the past three weeks. First Mike had a stomach bug (I guess "acute gastritis" is a bit more serious than a bug) that kept coming back and then we both started getting sore throats & sniffly noses. Right now we are just about back to 100% again but being sick has been kind of sucky and inconducive to going out and having fun stuffing our faces with delicious food and such.

Nevertheless we have kept ourselves busy spending time catching up with family & friends, participating in medical tourism (all manners of health check ups are so cheap and efficient here and Mike even had his [dental] implants done for a tenth of what it would have cost us in Canada), hitting up some touristy spots with our friends Celine & Matthieu who are on the tail-end of their 5-month trip around the world (and whose daily blog updates put me to shame), visiting old hang-out spots and finding new places to eat and drink and play. It's been nice. Here are some photos from the past five weeks, enjoy!
