Love and Hate

Things I hate about Taiwan:

1. Humidity - my hair is naturally wavy.  Wavy hair + humidity = Monica's hair in Barbados (friends episode)
2. Crazy drivers - please don't run me over
3. A lot of people smoke - yuck. yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck
4. I can't go shopping for clothes here b/c nothing fits me (the girls here don't have hips or butts)
5. All my relatives want to force feed me - which I don't understand since I already can't fit into the clothes here...
6. Squat toilets - enough said (although luckily, most places now have western toilets, thank God)

Things I love about Taiwan:

1. My family's here
2. The food - all the food!  street food, din tai fung, beef noodle soup, oyster pancakes, everything
3. Everything is cheaper here (except for cars, but I'm not buying a car so I don't really care)
4. Universal Healthcare - enough said (for those of you against "socialism," *ahem Michele Bacchmann, welfare is money from the government, yes you, Bacchmann, who received $250,000 in welfare - idiot)
5. The milk here is so much more fragrant than the watered down crap we have back in the states.
6. Chinese New Year in Taiwan = $$$$ :D
