Taiwan isn’t California. It actually rains here.
Slowly but surely, I’m settling in. If you recall, I said I would be in Taiwan for “any time between 1-3 years, closer to three than one.” I also said that I was pretty scared, which honestly explains my reasoning behind staying only for one year.

The office is located in the heart of Da’an District 大安區, next to Zhongxiao Fuxing 忠孝復興 station. This is the financial district, the most wealthy district of Taiwan. It’s also one of the busiest districts in the country. Continue reading “Taiwan: work and home location.”
It’s been four days since I landed in Taiwan. Still adjusting to the time difference and have been quite jetlagged, sleeping at 8-11pm and waking up at ~5am in the mornings.

I’ve tended to suddenly stop writing about my previous experiences half way through. The Mexico sailing story from over three years ago still sits idly within my laptop, unfinished and unpublished; wondrous events from the study abroad experience in Beijing remain untold; Cal Lightweight Crew was a defining point in my college career, yet has received three measly posts; and don’t even get me started on Washington D.C.

In my last semester of college, I took a terrific class called Ethics & Justice in International Affairs. It was a depressing class, really, that talked about atrocities committed by human beings: crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes.
So we talked of the Nuremberg Trials, the Cambodia Tribunals. and of Rwanda. Continue reading “Netherlands: war tribunals.”
