True friends are worth the distance.

Great grand mother 's spatula can I ever leave this place!!! A great Taiwan artist living in America hit the nail on the head when he said "If America is my mother, then Taiwan is my lover". Taiwan is always on the move and you can't help but move along with it. Every trip over here has been memorable and this last one is just the icing on the cake. It never ceases to amaze me how despite differences in origins and cultures you can meet people that are just as close to you as your own family. So in true Grammy award styles I would like to shout to all those that made a difference to my stay here. First and foremost I want to thank my best friend and true brother PJ for looking after me. I would never have come back if were it not to see you. Secondly my sis Nicola who always has my back. A big thanks to my Taiwan Ma and Pa the Chous and to Emily someone I've only this trip had the privilege of getting to know. Also many thanks to Shelly and her family, Sharon, Blaine, Mat, Janie, Tina, Richard, Barbra, Henry, Enzo, Yentin and her family and friends. A big shout out to Frank, Rita, Eric, and the boss at Franklin School Paul and Jenny. And last but not least my amazing wife and all my family and friends back home that have supported her while I've been away, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
One of these things is just like the other.
Doctor Li and his lovely wife Kim, friends for life!
