Today was the day I was left KL.

I had a really great time there but I must admit to looking forward to going back to Taiwan.

On the way to the airport we stopped in past a kindof relative's restaurant again for lunch and say goodbye. Then I left.

The flight back was strange. It felt like I was going home, which I was in a sense since this has been my home for the last few months, but it's not going to be forever.

I took potentially the most terrifying taxi ride of my life back to campus (it took closer to thirty minutes than the usual hour) and was welcomed by my roommate who shoved me back out the door and onto the bus to go to a spa. I'd never been before so had no idea what to expect and I'm not going to go into too much detail but it's basically a series of pools and rooms of vastly varaing temperatures that I'm sure must have originally been designed as cruel and unusual torture chambers. Against all odds and after a good few hours there we definitely left completely relaxed and refreshed. I figure it's probably best not to question it too much.

I'm back in Taiwan. It doesn't make sense, and it's made me feel at home for this short period.
