It's an old thread, but rather than just opening a new one I figured I recycle this one, since it's topic matches:
I'll be away for a week (or a few days more). Well, technically I'll be out of Taiwan for three weeks, but only one of those I will be without internet...
On Monday I will travel to Palawan, Philippines. Me and a couple of Taiwanese friends are going there to enjoy the sun
and not much else
Right after that I will travel to Germany, visiting family and friends as well as going to the office to pick up a new notebook computer (the one I have right now seems to be slowly dying on me, so that will be good). Will stay there for two weeks before I come back to Taiwan.
I am kinds gald it turned out this way as I am not really that much into all those Christmas festivities. I'll happily be here on Christmas (o.k., I'll probably go to work as I'll be all out of vacation time) and even more for New Year's Eve.
