Home

And I thank you
For bringing me here
For showing me home
For singing these tears
Finally I feel that I belong here
–Depeche Mode (Martin Gore) “Home”

When I arrived in Taichung yesterday, a wave of warmth struck me as soon as I got off from the bus. Taichung is truly much warmer then Hisnchu, and I felt it immediately. It amazes me how the distance of merely 100 kilometers can make such a difference.

The temperature dropped in the evening. Although it is not as chilly as it is in Hsinchu, there was no more heat. The smell from the construction work downstairs forced me to close the windows.

This morning when I went out to buy breakfast, I saw dog excrement all over the street.

This is my home. Sometimes it is far from beautiful, but I love it with all my heart. I belong here.
