Farewell Taiwan

I will be heading Down Under in February next year. I've been invited to sing in a concert at the Sydney Opera house which is a fundraiser for Koalo-bear cloning.....whatever! I'm going to study building design for 1.5 years in Sydney. It's been my dream for a long time to get into architecture - so this man is happy, to say the least!

SO....I realised I had to do some emergency CPR on my blog so that you can see what's going on over here in Taiwan before I'm back in SA! It's very sad to leave here, but with such a great opportunity lying ahead, it's impossible to wipe the smile off my face!

Ode to my ageing scooter...

FDC 710

I don’t want to forget her:
Not her strained laughter, or her shrieks when the heavens cry,
Not her illegal soul, or her scars of selfless devotion;
I don’t want to forget the coarse touch of her hands on mine:
Hands kissed by the rain,
Baked by the sun,
Caressed by the wind

I don’t want to forget us:
Not our cold arguments on wintry mornings, or our Salsa twists on mountain roads,
Not our conversations through iron bars, or our anxiety in waiting rooms;
I don’t want to forget the tunes we twisted together on the twilight road:
Tunes howled by us,
Inspired by freedom,
Conducted by the fading, dashed line on the road

I don’t want to forget her:
I the lover,
She the loved:
