After a year away from Taiwan, it is really reassuring to know it still feels like home. It's like I never left. Went to the bank and the teller greeted me, talks to me like as if I never left. Went to mass and the folks there greeted mom & I warmly, and gave us the honour of bringing up the communion bread & wine to the altar. Rae, Jon and Maggie had a fantastic lunch with me - driving all the way from Nangang to Xinyi. Honda and I had a nice time talking about mountains again. Rae drove us around saving us the walk in the rain Friday night. Luca took us to a great Italian restaurant. Vinny was nice and gallantly carried our shopping bags til he fell sick after Jiufen.
I am glad and comforted. I missed out the folks at the Wanghua gym. Also Ashley & Yvonne - no time for them. Sigh...
Next trip back, ideal case, return alone - no fuss, no pressure, no more tour-guiding!
