Understanding


Hi,

If it’s Monday night, we must be in Taipei, Taiwan.  Things have gone rather smoothly this trip.  Hmm, seems like we just did this.  Oh yeah, we did (555).  All of the typhoon business was gone when we flew in so it was a smooth flight.

The ‘Old School Friday’ tune was “Up On The Roof” by The Drifters.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puM1k-S86nE   ‘Easy Monday’ should be a cinch, whatever your musical bag.  “__, all my troubles seemed so far away.  Now it looks as though they’re here to stay, oh, I believe in __.”  Hint:  Seriously, you don’t know this?

In Bangkok, there is a recorded voice at the end of each segment of the moving walkway, announcing ‘End of the walkway’.  I noticed that the conveyor belt actually has a name.  I couldn’t resist taking a photo for you, so you’ll believe it.


After a couple of hours here in Taipei, we’ll board the plane for the long flight to the States.  I had another airport  revelation this trip.  International airports offer a great opportunity for sellers of extravagance.  At the three airports we visit on the overseas trip, there are business strips near the major entrances that give one a chance to spend tons of money on fragrances, alcohol and jewelry.  At the height of traffic, the cloud from the perfume vendors is overwhelming.  The booze merchants, along with others, invite shoppers with ‘Duty Free’ signs.  Apparently it works.  

Time for some snacks before heading off for our flight that will undoubtedly serve a late dinner.  It will be our second of the evening.  So glad we brought along some home-made brownies and coconut-flour bread.

Last but not least, Neechanan was working with her eyebrows on Friday.  Practicing raising them, making frowns, and squinting.  We’re really enjoying being present for this evolution.

Have a Great Week.

                Peace,
                          Danny
