'and I'm back in the game...'

Oh yes! After several weeks of computer outage, I'm back in action! Beautiful. I must admit that I've got a long way to go before updating photos, but I have no classes now on a monday (I think) so whould be totally back up to speed by tomorrow.
The rest of the day seems a little lacking after that piece of earth shattering, world changing news. We only went to the National Palace Museum to see some really old stuff (that being, a huge collection of Chinas riches and artifacts that Chang Kai Shek took with him to Taiwan when the whole communist thing happened in China.) It was pretty amazing though. And there was loads of jade! I love jade (as some of you may have guessed from the chunk of it that has been almost super-glued to my neck for years until recently when it forewent a tragic accident. ie the string broke.) But truly I think it is one of the most beautiful stones and it was fascinating to see such a prolific collection of jade. There were so many different colours and levels of translucency, that I didn't know existed. And the carvings were mildly mind boggling. I have no clue how they were even remotely possible. As I said, it was pretty amazing!
After that, my parents and I parted ways for the week so I am now back in my dorm and they are off for a trip down the east coast to see marble gorges and unmatchable landscapes. I'm not bitter. I think this shows a new-found greatness of character...
