I have not updated my blog for over one month. I have been using 'AMERICAN' personal computer aka my Host family/kids' computer for a long time. I don't like to use someone else's computer updating personal blogs or uploading photos, etc. Also, whenever I need to write something in Chinese, I need to use google translator. And its translation is horrible. The funny thing is that I have to use very weird English sentences to make Google translates them into the formal Chinese sentences. What a hard work. Here is the example,

I am flying home on 2/14 and stay in Taiwan from 2/15 to 3/1.

Google translator:  

我飛的家中2月14日，留在台灣從 2 / 15至3 / 1。

This doesn't make sense in Chinese. So I have to write...

2/14 I fly home -- 2月14日我飛回家
I will from 2/15 to 3/1 stay in Taiwan -- 我會從 2月15日至3月1日留在台灣

This is so funny. I need to try so many times and sentences to make them 'look' right.

Anyway, I will be flying home less than 10 days. Super excited. I don't know what makes me wanna fly home so badly.(BSB,maybe? CNY, maybe?)

I could go to Europe or somewhere in the US but I chose to go back home for the entire two paid weeks.

I am looking forward to seeing all my close family, relatives and friends, and ex-colleagues, even some ex-students. :)

So far there is no actual plan for my trip. It's CNY and I hope the weather is gonna be nicer/no rain.

The most importantly is I HAVE TO GO TO SONY VAIO in Taipei to fix my laptop . DAMN IT!
