8 Weeks to Go

There's really nothing special happening here, and that's why I havn't posted much lately.

The Chinese New Year was past, and it was the first time I wasn't at home during that time. To be honest, I felt lonely. The only people on this island knowing that holiday were just my Korean girl co-worker and me. There was nothing we could do to make that holiday special. All we got was working as usual. The only thing made me happy was that I called my family and several friends in Taiwan.

I will leave this island on the 13th of April, and that's 8 weeks from now. I can't wait the coming of the day. I'll be very happy to leave here.

In my original plan I was to stay in Australia for another 2 weeks since my working holiday visa expires on 19th of April, but things had changed. I found that it seemed to be difficult to extend my visa to a visitor/tourist's visa, and so I will leave Australia before my current visa expires. And my sister is going to get married on 2nd of May, I have decided to go back on time to participate her wedding ceremony.

Because now I'll have to go back to Taiwan before my sister's wedding, so that I will not go to Singapore to take a train to Malaysia and Thailand this time. Besides, as a Taiwanese passport holder, I have to apply for a tourist's visa to Malaysia and Thailand in Singapore in order to take the train ride, truely I think that's a pity. Maybe I'll do that in the future and get the visas ready in Taiwan.

This time I'll fly to Osaka, Japan, from Cairns. I'll stay a few days in Osaka, and then take a train to Kyoto. I want to spend more than one week in Kyoto before I return to Taiwan on 30th of April.

How do I hope the next 8 weeks pass in a blink, but I know that it is actually not a too long period of time. I can't wait to leave.
