Dispatches: Trey in Taiwan (Updated)
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- I rummaged through my Khao-San-Road-Bangkok-style-fisherman-pants to scrape together all the Thai Bhat I could find. Soon, I would be on my way and it was time to trade them for Taiwan dollars. I carry with me everything that I own, my guitar, a backpack and whats left of my Korean Hagwan fortune acquired after teaching a few years in the ROK.
It seemed like so much more when I left. But that was fourteen weeks ago. Fourteen weeks of traveling through India, Nepal and Thailand. Between the rickshaws, somosas, sleeper trains, Airasia flights, zorbing, paragliding, Annapurna trekking, Kingfisher beers, Dal Bat, Samsong whiskey buckets, street pad thai, tuk tuks, cigarettes and all other wicked vices better left unsaid.
Now I’m here in Taipei with my girl, Karla Louise, and about $3,500USD to my name.
