gettin ready to go

So we have our job, we have our tickets, and in a week and a half we'll be on a plane. I can't speak for John, but I know I'm feeling a combination of giddy excitement and pure terror. It was sad to have Japan slip out of our fingers, but the more I learn about Taiwan, the more excited I get. The city looks amazing and the tropical landscape beautiful. The food looks incredible, too. I know we're both excited for that. There's this dish I've heard you can get there called "stinky tofu" and it sounds quite interesting. Apparently you can smell it from a block away and it tastes even worse. I think I'll have to work my way up to it, but I guess we'll just have to see....
