"AirJap"
Got a faster start on our 16 hour journey from Vancouver to Taipei thanks to Eric.
He moved us in front of a very full/busy line in the screening process at the YVR (Vancouver Airport)
i "heart" Japan Air. Flew over Alaska.
i think i "heart" Japan in general,
as i found most people (even if my experience is only based on the five hours that we had to spend
waitign for our transfer flight) very friendly and relaxed (huge pluses in my world).
Also Japanese girls are cute be it as cliche as it may.

"Home"
Arrived in Taipei, Taiwan via Tokyo, Japan.
Jason Pan and Rachel (Jacky's cousin) both picked us up.
Jason showed us the apartment that we will be stayign at during our time here.
Its the one his Family used to live in,
and its amazing in my opinion.
I will be very greatful to his Family for letting us stay here.
Jason will be officially getting married this Saturday to his wife Livia and they have brand new firts baby girl Bela (Bella?).
***April 21st***
"Mosquido"
Spelt in because of a super long first day after our arrival. woke up at noon.
Think i slept close to nice hours compared to the guys - they woke up at around eight/nine in the morning.
got the much needed exstra rest.
Went on the MTR (Metro/Skytrain) to the shopping district.
Walked around the Park of Peace.
Rachel and Jason drove us to Keelung.
A post city located in the most northern part of Taiwan, some forty minutes drive from Taipei.
Very nice view of the Ocean. Very large night/daily market of food close to the Temple.
David explained to me the history behind the city and their night/food market.
What a strange ending to the night. Which reminds me that clubbing is a waste of time unless you are willing to spend some good money.
Jacky, Rob and Paul are still out with the two girls they picked up thanks to P's friend's (Harry) GF.
She basically brought two complete strangers (girls) to our table. Katie (?) and Wan-Zhu (?), the later translated from mandarin meaning - mosquido.
She is in her second year of the university.
Very "Murphy's Law" ending the to day as David lost the key to the apartment when him, Donald and me got home from the club.
None of us had a cellphone or new the number of people that would be able to help us.
Walked to Family Mart to get some food. Then while resting/waitign for people to come/wake up
we realied that i had all the numbers we needed in my wallet for emergency. It was very helpful in this situation!
