Typhoon
It’s typhoon again in Taiwan, I’m sort of getting a bit sick of typhoons these days, it was fun to start with, but now I just think it makes the city lifeless with all the shops closed. On the other hand it does make the temperature a lot more bearable.
I’m getting a bit upset that I’ll be leaving this Sunday, I mean the two months have passed so quickly, I’ve made so many friends here and had so much fun. Man, hate to think about going back to Edinburgh, I mean it’s a nice city, but I know that next year will be really really hard, and I doubt I’ll get much time to go out. Oh, and there won’t the the convenience of Taipei with hundreds of cheap and delicious restaurants, 24 hour convenience stores and the ultra cool metro system.
Oh, by the way, the previous two posts about Naomi and I was just for a bit of fun, but I think some of you believed it. You see Naomi had used my Mac to read my blog, and since I didn’t sign out previously, she thought it’d be fun to write something on it. I was tempted to delete it, but I was convinced that leaving it on would be fun.
So basically I’m still the same ol’ single Joe you lads and lasses had come to know and love.

Life with Naomi
Naomi came up to my flat last night and we had a lot of fun together. Naomi and I are both of mixed race, however unlike me Naomi’s father is an American, and she was brought up there. This meant that she could not understand most of my English, however fortunately we found other things to do…
When we got up this morning, the weather was pretty poor; the sky was dark, rain pouring down and city was filled with sounds of thunder. This meant we couldn’t go out till after four in the afternoon. We decided on going to see “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, which was a terrible film, but of course you just don’t care about things like that when you’re in loveā„
After the film we went for dinner in an Italian restaurant, there we talked about important issues like the difference between chips and fries, spots and pimples, as well as what our kids would be like, she told me that they would have her nose and my cheeks.
She couldn’t understand my English, but we found that we could communicate by rubbing our cheeks together, like cats on the Discovery Channel do.
Suddenly we found that we were chewing on the same piece of spaghetti!
Our night out from Naomi’s perspective.
When you’re in love everything seems pink!

Destiny has arrived!
So today I have finally got to hang out with the girl that I fancy. Her name is Naomi. I do believe that she is the most wonderful person I have ever met. Her beauty makes me feel so overwhelmed…I don’t know how I got so lucky as to be able to occupy even a moment of her time.
I feel like this whole time that I have been in Taiwan has been so wonderful and amazing..but nothing compared to the time when I am with her.
I’m doing well..and I’m in love.
