I'm coming home

I was unfortunately unable to steal internet the last couple of days, which basically means that I've been stir crazy for internet. The pictures turned out fine. Sorry Casey, no flashing of abs, but there were plenty of pictures of us in ballgowns. I'll post them when we get the CD. Or maybe I'll have a viewing party during lunch sometime. My dad jokes that he's going to blow up the pictures and post them in front of our house to attract suitors.

So, being in Taiwan is interesting right now... Our political climate is very confusing. Our president and his entire family apparently have taken lots of gifts that they weren't supposed to. To cap it all off, the daughter's husband is involved in insider trading. They've locked him up in a jail for now. To make this even more soap-opera-ish, the president's daughter is 8 months pregnant. They also wanted to go to Japan to escape from all of this. The background to this marriage is that the daughter actually liked someone else and was dating someone for 8 years. Her parents didn't approve, and so found this man for her to marry. What a great candidate he turned out to be, right? Also, the president refuses to step down, probably because he is afraid of what's going to happen to him once he's not president. He's known to take bribes as well as messing up the entire banking and health care system in Taiwan. The news here is always about this story. People are celebrating... that's the saddest part... his approval rate is at 11%, even lower than Bush!

Okay, I'm going home tonight!

YAY!
