Attention: I'm Coming Home

Well I am officially excited. I will be starting my journey home to Canada this Friday (February 10th) . I will arrive into Regina on Saturday, February 11th in the afternoon. I am pumped about being home and enjoying the Canadian lifestyle for a while... Timmy's, latte's (every morning), skating, salad's, grocery stores (WITH sour cream, pudding, cake mix, gummy bears, etc...). Ahhh.... I have a month off in between contracts. I will be returning to Taiwan in the middle of March. So during my time off in Canada I will be making trips to the Calgary area, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and staying with my 'rents in Moose Jaw!

What I'm not looking forward to is freezin' my butt off with -15 degrees temps. Everyone is telling me this is amazing temps for the prairies this time of year... ha ha!! I think NOT. I may have been one of those people at one time, but NOT ANY MORE!! Maybe I'll just set up a heater, hot chocolate dispensing machine and camp out most of the time in heavy layers and blankets. But seriously, I hope I really feel okay. A friend just got back to Taiwan a few weeks ago, he was home in Canada for christmas and he said he froze- THE WHOLE TIME... and I am thinking the temps weren't that cold... -5 degrees.... maybe. So I am trying to prepare myself now... but I am chicken and today I was walking around in +20 degree temps (here in Taiwan) with three layers on. So I am thinking... I HAVE NO CHANCE!! ha ha. But there may be a positive side to this... no sweating for a whole month- this could be good change.

Well, I hope to see you soon!!

funny, the day you left is the day i arrived back in Taiwan. have a great time at home, i found the temperatures weren't too bad - just force people to go warm the car up before you'll leave the house! it'll be positively HOT here when you get back. haha
See you in March (or April as the case may be). Char
