missing yellowstone

in another few days... it would be fully one month since i left the states.
sigh.
i
miss
yellowstone.
argh

it's 4:21am now, it should be around 2:21pm there in Yellowstone.
I wonder what people are doing right now....
lunch would be over.. the eccentric vegan would be cleaning the EDR..
in the dining room, the lunch shift would be nearly over, hope there isn't a geyser rush right now else i m sure the servers working now would curse and swear.
the weather outside would be fair, the skies would blue, big and beautiful..
some people would be hanging out around the porch of laurel dorm.. smoking.. listening to music, chatting...........

arh. i miss yellowstone

Taiwan Trip (4-8 Aug 2007)

As the airline we flew was China Airline, we had a stopover in Taiwan where we spent a few days of shopping eating and relaxing...

Taiwan was not all I imagined it to be... it might be because I had too high expectations for it.. maybe it was the weather.. it was so damn hot... maybe it was the long 18 hour flight from new york... I just didn't feel happy in Taiwan.. hahaha.. shud go there in winter maybe?


Mao Kong - place for ppl to drink tea... obviously a bright n sunny summer day is not very suitable for such a purpose...

my 'flowery' pursuit.. yet again.. ;p


Taipei 101 - nothing much...... hahaha


This is 'tian bu la'... faintz. i always thot it was tempura...


at Sun Moon Lake... nearer to Taichung.. i still miss yellowstone lake better



taken from the airplane when I just arrived into taipei.. note the cute hello kitty cartoon on the airplane beside me


228 taiping Garden.. filled with old people doing Taichi.. sounds interesting?


regular spot to take pics for ppl coming to taipei.. the sun was unbearably hot and i nearly got a heatstroke..



the famous.. ah zhung mian xian... not bad not bad

wildflowers of yellowstone



















the 'hua' chi in me took these pictures while i was on my way to Mt Washburn. I love these flowers!!

I miss USA


i miss my slave costume.. hehe.. server apron looks much better than the SA apron :p



top above: Chef Jack Royals; above: Alan and Leslie (both darlings i miss)


i miss the blue blue big skies of Yellowstone..

it had been around 48 hrs since i stepped off the plane at Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport..


i feel:


bored


empty


dissappointed


yearning to go home..





had always been looking foward to go to Taiwan.. someplace to mai dongxi chi dongxi etc.. budden i think lei.. nothing so much special about here.. this place makes me wanna go back home asap.. i had seriously considered the possibility of flyin back a few days earlier. damn i do miss home now..





missing US loads..


start to miss the people in yellowstone.. those cool and sweet ppl i had been working with for the past weeks b4 i started my travels. miss the cool dry air there.. miss the picturesque sceneries around.. everywhere i turn i see something pleasing to the eye.. the skies were true blue.. with greenery all around... i now even start to miss the thermal features.. the BISONS there.. oo damn i miss my Mercury Grand Marquis.. hahaha..


it is the feeling there i miss.. the feeling of being free.. the vastness.. the idea of juz sitting at one corner doing nothing.. staring into space seems so appealing to me now.





miss the people..


miss the strange and goofy people there..


miss the sentimental and kindered spirits i found there..





i know i can't live there forever.. obviously..


juz.. missing that place.


that company i had..





that moment
