Storms, viruses, and Taiwanese language
I've been back a few weeks now, and the weather is finally starting to get cooler. That means a bunch of low-pressure cold fronts (read: wind and rain) which, while giving a brief respite to the sweltering heat of the sun, also means that, well, it's getting cooler.I moved out of Mr. Zhang's apartment and am now occupying a friend's house while he is out of the country. My friend, JR, also lent me his bicycle, and I've started to bike to school and back, which gives me some exercise. This has caused me to get sunburns (and then tans) on my arms and neck (a real farmer's tan), so on Monday I started applying suncream in those areas, as well as my face, before going to school.

Back to square one
I arrived last Monday, tired and trying hard to beat the jet-lag, to a still hot Taipei. In a way, the change was welcome, as Paris was already getting cold and windy when I left.Now I'm staying (temporarily) in a friend's place, trying to find a job and apartment. It's just like I'm starting over again, except I already know the basics.
