I’ve begun to fall into the schedule of my life here, and I have to say, it’s a good life.

This weekend we headed to Tainan for a food tour with a group of Youming’s friends. They planned the trip for us; Tainan is considered a food center of Taiwan, and so we spent the day sampling some of the more famous dishes around the city.
