I found out recently that one of my friends from college is moving to Taiwan. It's making me reminisce like crazy. I'm missing my favorite bar (The Brass Monkey), my favorite club (Roxy 99), my old roommate (Magda), my little students (who I'm sure aren't so little anymore - 6 years later), the awesome Teppenyaki restaurant down the street from my apartment (where the food was healthy AND cheap - take that America!) and the list goes on and on...
The best way for me to relive those days is by writing my novel about a girl named Carla, who lived in Taiwan. Hmmm, sound familiar? A slow but fun process. I'm currently at about 50,000 words and counting. :)

I often feel homesick for Asia when friends go back to move there or just visit. I'm so excited you've reached 50,000 words!!! Can't wait to read your novel!
