Home again, Home again

So, I am well aware it has been a long while since my last post. And if you subscribe to this blog for the adventure and travel aspect, this particular post is not for you.

As many of you already know, I traveled home for my favorite sister's wedding. And due to wonderful timing of said wedding, I also got to enjoy the nuptials of one of my dear friends, DreamStreet, the Fourth of July, one of my dearest German friends, and lots of family and friends.

Being home was wonderful. The weather was perfect, as always, and even more so in comparison to Taiwanese weather. It was so great to be home and see everyone that I love. Home for me is just such a comfortable place. And as much fun and adventure as I am having here in Taiwan, it made me realize that I am ready to be home.

But, I still have a chunk of time here in Taiwan. My last day of work isn't until September 15th and then I have about a week until I take off for India with my aunt Karen and my cousin Casey. I am so thrilled about this trip and feel like the luckiest girl in the world for having an aunt who would take me with her to such an amazing and intense place. I can't wait!

After India, I am taking a trip around South East Asia, which I am in the process of planning at the moment. When I know more about the itinerary, I shall fill you all in. And then those of you who are living vicariously through my travels will be satiated once again, I am certain.

In other news, I went and saw the first showing (in the world) of the new Batman movie in Taipei at the IMAX. Do the same. It's great fun. Another highlight since being back was the Radiohead show in Taipei. What a show. I am a mediocre fan of Radiohead but my roommate, Rooney, is obsessed. He bought the tickets in January and has been talking non-stop. Well the show definitely lived up to the hype. We were third row and eye contact distance from the band. It was amazing. I'd venture to say I am now a big fan of Radiohead. :) 

Many of you have probably seen these pictures, especially if you've been anywhere near my facebook, but for those of you who haven't, I've included some pictures of while I was home.
