kelly_in_taiwan - Profile (original) (raw)

on 16 September 2005 (#8308125)

Chronicling my adventures and misadventures of living and working in Taiwan.

This LJ is a diary of my time living in Taiwan, where I can write about my feelings and thoughts of everyday life in the Far East and post some of my photos. From time to time, I will also post 'reviews' on restaurants/sights/etc and link to any news articles or websites of interest and relevance. I may also go off on a rant at times or obsess about languages so bear with me.Any LJ users who want to be added to my 'Friend' list are free to e-mail me or leave me a message in any of my posts. Anyone who wants to add me to their LJ or website is welcome to do so! ^_^
