10-10

So, yesterday was Taiwan's national day. They just call it "double ten" day, so for a while I was very amused and thought they had made it a holiday simply because it's the 10th of October and it's a double ten. I wouldn't put it past them - it's really hard to get a cellphone number here that does NOT contain the number 4, because 4 is very unlucky and all the 4-free numbers have already been taken. The colour white is also bad. And also making any large business decisions during Ghost Month. And leaving your chopsticks in your rice.

Anyhooooo, I celebrated by going shopping with Sanchia at Taipei 101. I am pleased to announce that I have lost SO much weight, I now fit nicely into the largest size trousers available in Taiwan... Joy.
