23! in Taipei

Sunday was a big day. I moved into what will be my home for the next year. I turned 23, and, as a sign of my old age, I promptly fell asleep at 7:30 PM.

Before that though, I managed to get some celebration time by making popovers and watching Criminal Minds with Fiona. The day was perfected with a chocolate shake and pesto hummus at a restaurant called Chocoholic, which I believe must have been created with me in mind.

Of course the real gem of photo is this one: 

I never thought I had to worry about straw placement in photos.

 Soon I'll post photos of my dorm, which is probably the nicest dorm I've ever been in. There are nice views from the building, I have my own bathroom, and there are *hundreds* of yummy looking restaurants close by. It surely makes up for leaving this majestic piece of land behind:

Goodbye America. I'll see you again someday soon.
