I know it’s been a while, sorry.

The last day in Taiwan was spent going to a Thai Massage. (No it wasn’t a “Rub N’ Tug”). For a 2 hour massage, it only cost $1200 NT, which works out to about $40 a person. Now this wasn’t an ordinary massage. First of all the room had two beds. After we got dressed into some Thai garments, they washed our feet. After that they began “working” us over. A Thai massage is the type where they bend you in every possible position you can think of, all the while jamming their knees into muscles. A few parts were a little painful, but overall it was awesome and definately recommended. You feel so rejuvinated after it’s all done.

That night we just went out to supper to the Shabu Shabu restaurant. Sunday we woke up early and headed to the airport. We had to stand in line for a good 20 minutes to check in. After that we said our goodbyes and I went through a couple of security checkpoints with no problems. I had to wait around for another hour or so, then took a 2 hour flight to Osaka Japan. A few hours after that it was only a 8 hour plane ride to San Francisco. But this ride was sooo much better then the flight to Taiwan. For one it was much shorter, and secondly, we had TV’s at the back of the seat in front of us. The only bad thing was that they were showing the same movies going back as they did going there.

I got to watch the sunset from the plane and the sunrise. Seeing the sunset and sunrise above the clouds was a pretty amazing site to say the least.

Well now that I’ve been overseas, I don’t think I’ll ever really travel to the south for a vacation. Going to a country where you don’t speak the language and everything looks different is something everybody needs to experience. Yes you will pay more then if you went to Cancun for 2 weeks, but you can see hotels and beaches anywhere.
