Two weeks have finally passed, and I have survived quarantine. I really can’t say it was very difficult, as various friends and family have constantly texted, video chatted, and called every single day to keep me company. I would imagine it would have been much more difficult had I not had any contact with the … Continue reading Survived Quarantine

Beef Noodle Soup
Update - in less than 24 hours, the government located and tested the missing Vietnamese migrant (negative for COVID). Unfortunately for her, she’ll likely be deported back to Vietnam. According to dad, there is a huge migrant population in Taiwan since locals no longer want to do the back breaking work of yore. A lot … Continue reading Beef Noodle Soup

The repeat offenders - sweet corn, broccoli, baby corn, pepper, cauliflower. They’re even laid out in the same way. … Continue reading Quarantine Day 3
Day 1 of Quarantine
I debated whether to journal everyday during quarantine or not. There isn’t much to talk about as nothing much is happening. However, journaling helps pass some time. Time flows very slowly during quarantine. So far I have spent the bulk of the time consuming news on the internet. Joe and I don’t have the habit … Continue reading Day 1 of Quarantine
