WOOHOO!!!<bR><\/p>\n<p>Originally i was flying to Taipei and would have been there 4-5 hours and then would catch the connecting flight to Vancouver (and haha &#8211; would have landed in Vancouver the same day I left Australia date wise&#8230;..crazy timezones!), but the connecting flight for tomorrow got cancelled so my travel agent lady advised me that when I get to Taipei I am supposed to got to the transit stand???? and the airline has suppoedly arranged for a hotel for the night for moi and i assume any other folks affected. My flight out of Taipei is still at the same time of night the next day so i will be there for more than 24 hours. I wonder if there is much I can do while i am there&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>SO yeah -now I will arrive in Canada Sunday evening instead of Saturday evening. Not sure when I will get online next. I dont have a laptop (yet &#8211; will be first purchase after i have job and a place to live i think) so will be relying on nt cafes and stuff for a while.<br \/>\nWhich reminds me &#8211; need to redirect all my email accounts through Gmail tonight.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah &#8211; umm &#8211; i am working very hard on not freaking out! \ud83d\ude00 <br \/>\nI just keep telling myself it will be fine&#8230;that whatever i need to do to get settled will work out fine (even with no family or close friends there to back me up). And if it all goes to shit &#8211; I can make sure I have AU$100 minimum in my bank account to change the return flight to an earlier date if I have to!<\/p>\n<p>I really need to pack the rest fo the stuff in my suitcase. and move stuff onto my external hard drive so i have my important files handy when i finally get the laptop. And fiish cleaning the room.<\/p>\n<p>But right now&#8230;..i feel like napping! haha <\/p>\n<p>OH MY GAH!!! i keep forgetting &#8211; the greatest drink chain on earth is originally from taiwan!! I LOVE YOU EASYWAY!!! i hope there is an easyway outlet near the hotel!
