I wish Taiwan practises Daylight Saving time – right now we’re in the midst of summer, and the sky is fully lit by 6am, and it’s dusk by the time I finish work at 6pm.
On the other hand, I’m loving that white light energy-saving globes can be easily purchased AND are marked as so. I can now take product shots any time in the comfort of my own home.
We have purchased our core essential home items – bed, TV and washing machine! Hoping that from this point on, I won’t have to dip into my savings.
Mr Ronan is over the moon that we have cable TV – finally some English entertainment for him!
My save-and-spend philosophy now involves spending less than NT$450 (AUD$15) for drink/food a day, so I can spend them on the various beauty/cosmetic procedures/products there are on offer.
Being bombarded with super skinny Taiwanese girls everywhere (AND they have long legs too!) is rather depressing. Girls my height on average weighs 10kg less than I do. And my tried-and-true carb free diet is impossible to carry out, with all the delicious noodle and rice meals on offer here.
Glad to hear that you are both settling in. !!! about the weight… My philosophy is that we (probably) only live once so as long as you are at a healthy weight it’s ok to enjoy all food in moderation!
P.S. I’ve linked to your blog in my blog roll (“links” page) – is this ok with you ( noting your site’s T&Cs)???

Sarah: Thank you
I love my food so whilst I’m not intending to give it up – I would like to loose a little weight to feel better about myself. So hopefully I’ll be able to find a happy medium.
And please link away! Thank you for the link love <3
I always wonder how super slim Chinese women keep their figure by eating a typical diet of rice and noodles…In Singapore, I think many people are too busy to have breakfast so it’s common that many girls just have two meals a day. Maybe the scorching hot weather keeps everyone sweating too…and thus losing water weight easily?? I don’t know. I’m Chinese and it’s a mystery to me – lol!
Beauty Box: I have no idea either… I see all the women indulging in rice and noodle and doing the same is making me pile on the weight >.< I really hope I’ll be able to find a solution soon!
