Greater Taipei area, as seen from Mao Kong, with Taipei 101 visible in the background
I've not yet finished posting about my last trip to Taiwan (I've since been home in Toronto), and now I will be ahead of myself -- I have accepted a job offer from Taipei, and will be flying back there tomorrow evening. Back to the city where I was born, and where I spent the first seven years of my life!
I'm a tad nervous about the challenges ahead, and sad to leave my friends and family here in Toronto; mostly, however, I'm extremely excited to be beginning a new adventure, and to rediscover my own culture that has become so alienated from my adult self.
As a friend wisely told me recently -- when we are feeling challenged, we are actually growing. When we cease to be challenged, we cease to grow. (And if we cease to grow, we eventually wither away. And if we wither away...)
