I apologize for my excruciatingly long absence. A lot has happened on the road and I have been fully consumed in my travels. After South Korea (which I will finish writing about), I headed back to Japan to experience cherry blossom season. I had some amazing experiences and met some very special people, but half way through my time there I felt I had had my fill of Japan and booked an unplanned trip back to Taiwan. As soon as the plane landed and I saw the massive Taiwanese flag of Taoyuan International Airport, I had an overwhelming sense of being home. I know my family is sick of hearing me gush about Taiwan, so I will try to limit the gushing. Taiwan stole my heart and forever will be a very dear place to me. During my 12 days there, I received unconditional love that can’t even be described. Friends flew to Taipei to see me, students went out of their ways to meet up, and my Taiwanese family showered me with affection. It was just what I needed! After recharging in Taiwan I flew to Australia for only two days before boarding a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
My first plan of attack is to briefly catch up on the end of South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and my two days in Sydney. Then I will do my best to update you on life at sea in the South Pacific.
I hope all is going well for you wherever you are reading from.
