Mission: 7 posts in 7 days.
Objective: Unknown.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in the world! It's Sunday night and I'm pretty bored, so I decided to put into action a plan that I've been thinking about for awhile: 7 posts in 7 days. I don't know why I want to do this, but I'm thinking it might bring out some more interesting things that happen to me in Taiwan on a day to day basis. I tend to save up all my stories for a long post every few weeks. Sometimes that doesn't reflect the flow of life here.
Well, the Sunday evening blues have definitely kicked in. Weekends are awesome, but I don't think there is anything worse than the feeling of another week creeping in on a Sunday night.
Rather than fear the week, I'll talk about the weekend. One cool thing about living in Taiwan that I don't think I mention enough is the foreigner scene. At a party this weekend, I was drinking with people from the US (Florida, Washington, Chicago, and even a Port Jeff Station native!), England, Canada, Mexico, Honduras, South Africa, Hong Kong, and of course, Taiwan. There's nothing like having a drink and exchanging some stereotype digs from country to country. It's pretty amazing to see the collection of people who share the common thread of "foreigner in Taiwan," yet amongst ourselves, we are really different, reminding us that there is nowhere you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up.
*worth mentioning:
-I know only like 10 people read my blog
-I like to pretend more people do
-Most of my posts are peppered with sarcasm
So when I say something like "Before you get all "Johnny's coming home!", I'm not actually being so narcissistic that I think any of the 10 people that read that actually for a moment got excited that I'm coming home. So before you get all "How many people do you think actually got all "Johnny's coming home!"?", I know the answer is "probably nobody."

I think more than 10 people read. You should do a test to see how many people you can get to comment.
