Bye bye Luxembourg

Looking for news from Luxembourg? I'm terribly sorry, but I'm no longer there. Yes, that's right, after an emotional goodbye (neighbors and I exchanged post-it notes) I took one last look at the empty suburban street in front of my place, jumped in my car and headed for Frankfurt airport.

About 20 hours later, I had almost made it to my destination on a wonderful island in the pacific. Here's a picture of the sunrise over a toll station:

Beautiful sunrise

I realize you might have a few questions, like "how" and "why" and "didn't you have another look at the street while you were driving". It was actually quite simple: I uploaded my profile to adoptacaucasian.com and found a host family within minutes. It may have helped that I used the picture of a movie star, but hey, to them Asians we all look alike, right?

Anyhow, it seems to have worked out fine so far. After stepping from the bus and making a few frantic phone calls, I was picked up and taken to my new home in the sunny subtropical resort area of DaKen:

You've probably never heard about it, but - and I'm quoting an official website - "beyond a doubt, DaKen is one of the most important recreational and tourist areas in" the world.

I'll continue blogging about my exciting new life in Taiwan whenever I have nothing better to do. See you soon! Zàijiàn!
