There are 17 days between now and when I board a plane, never to return to Taiwan. Now I don't know that I won't ever return to Taiwan, but it seems unlikely to me. It is a very bittersweet feeling for me because on one hand I am dying to be back home with family and Target stores plentifully in every city. On the other hand, I currently live on a beautiful, exotic, tropical island where everyday brings new things and your life is just legitimately more interesting. Like I said, bittersweet.
It hasn't really hit me yet that I will be leaving in a little less than 3 weeks and never returning. However, I am trying to check things off of my bucket list to get ready for the ultimate departure. Here is what I need to do thus far:
1) Drink as much bubble teas as humanly possible (one a day?)
2) Eat at least one mango each day (Taiwan mangos are sweeter than any candy you can buy here, most delicious fruit I have ever eaten!)
3) Make another trip up to the waterfall
4) Buy more pearls and Jade! Of course :)
5) Eat stinky tofu one last time, when in Rome!
6) Buy more tea to take home
7) Enjoy my city
I am going to miss Taiwan, but at least I have some time left now to give it one last goodbye. 17 days to go!
