What's different you ask?

We've obviously made some adjustments and changes since coming to Taiwan. These are some of the things I've noticed recently that we do in Taiwan that are different from home.
We:
-use chopsticks (duh, right? But, a recent email from my uncle outlining the many uses of a cane reminded me that chopsticks also have many uses, though not done in public so we don't offend the local people. They make great pointers, head scratchers, poking devices, etc.)
-eat buns that have beans tucked inside (and we like them)

Picture from here

-don't pay attention to the lines on the road when driving; the government must have thought they would be a good idea, but drivers have a different idea
-eat out a lot

-drive to work in 10 minutes
-comment on how cool it feels when the temperature drops below 85
-buy meals from street vendors

-speak a few chinese words (When Jeremiah doesn't understand someone he turns to me and asks "Allison, what are they saying?" like I'm going to know. Most of the time I have no idea.)
-get cold tea delivered to us at school once a week
-park anywhere we can (even sidewalks)

-walk in the street because 1) there are hardly any sidewalks, and 2) when there are sidewalks they are either parked on or the shops are spilling out from their building onto the sidewalk and streets
-drink coke instead of pepsi
-have our laundry done by someone else
-sometimes run red lights, but never turn right on a red
-go to 7-11 often (to pay bills, get cash, as a breakfast stop on the way to school...)
-talk to our families through skype, emails and cards

-notice flashes of dark movements out of the corner of our eye and pray it's a gecko and not a cockroach (well, this is mostly for me, though jeremiah probably hopes so too because cockroaches mean we have to catch and release; geckos can just hang out)
and... last but not least
-get to hold super cute Taiwanese babies (as much as Lisa hopes this is our baby so she can be a grandma, it isn't :)
