almost...

Thursday, October 20, 2005
Planning the Taiwan trip is taking more effort than I initially thought it would. But it does add a lot of excitement to my internet surfing, not mentioning the people I meet in this backpacking website I am frequenting. Being a tour leader is quite fun, actually, back-breaking or not. Planning an entire trip from touch down to the flight back home, with me calling all the shots, where to visit and not... nice. Travelling with 2 elderlies and a 6-year-old totally add an element of challenge to my planning strategy! (sounding chirpier than necessary)

Yes, planning for just 2 or 4 would be much simpler, but I'd rather have what I'm having than joining a tour group. After all, Taiwan is just, a small island (but with thousands and thousands of sightseeing hotspots!). The good thing is, everything in or about Taiwan can be found on the internet, from every street map and routes of the subway system, to lodging-eatery-sightseeing info with latest prices, and even maps of their pasar malam stalls! Sad to say, though, Malaysia is waaaaaaay belakang. When people ask for websites to know more about Malaysia, the search results I get are pathetic. So I ask them to just come over, stay at my place and I'll take them around. That or I'll have to start an association to provide friendlier info and tips to travellers.

I'm down with flu (what's new) again. Just hope I recover well enough to enjoy my first ever church wedding this weekend. Happy getting married, Fiona! Hmm, this means I'll be meeting the whole bunch of church folks. Means Elliot will be bugging me about the meme I didn't have time to respond to.

Blek.
