i need a new travelling partner. this one's too quiet. and a cynic. and boring.
it's so sad that he can climb, because that's a really big factor for travelling partners.

i'm tired. and i don't know why.
i've still got to
1) upload photos (guilin + hockey MGMs + new york)
2) research for places to go during my break
3) research for which part of US to travel
4) skype friends
5) diary entry
6) cook dinner
7) bathe

but i just want to sleep. maybe it's the "depressing new york" mood.

so here i am, sitting on an airport couch at 1.30am in the morning.
I'm transiting to JFK from Taoyuan International Airport, and still got another 7 hours to go till the next flight. we already killed 10 of it.
where am i going? to NEW YORK! for 3 months (work and travel program). woohoo!
my travelling companion? daryl - fellow climber/socsci student/namastee
employer? Nathan's Famous (Coney Island)

so, basically, the 17 hours of transit was a blessing, as i got to see and experience the famous Shilin Night Market and Xi Men Ding (harajuku of Taiwan), and eat fabulous food (despite the rain).

here's the start of my journey, i just hope i can continue it with such a happy note.

i'm back from Krabi - a SMU rock climbing trip, and here I am obsessing over BAGS :D
