In answer to the question of how he seemingly runs the 89km-Comrades race so easily, Bruce Fordyce, the great ultra-marathon runner, said: "One kilometer at a time!"
Here in Taichung we are currently taking it one weekend at a time. The weeks goes by so incredibly fast. Or maybe its just me? Our time on this island is quickly coming to a close. There has been a lot of personal growth during the past couple of years, for both of us, and we are reluctant to say goodbye to a bunch of awesome friends. We realised recently that we won't be able to complete our list of "Things to do".

I'm finishing off my mini-thesis (Read more elsewhere on this blog. Intercultural Communication is an amazingly intriguing and diverse field.) and will be writing exams in Taipei soon. My Green Card-application process is going well and I expect to be called to Taipei soon for an interview at AIT with the men in blue.
The biggest job, however, is the Great Trek - shipping our earthly belongings to Florida and taking care of all trivial, but important admin tasks. Sarah has done an amazing job thus far and we are currently sorting, packing, throwing away and selling. It goes beyond me how two people can gather so much in only a few years time!
Sarah and her friend, Sara B., will be touring India for two weeks in June, while I work away till the end of that month. 30 June we depart for Jacksonville, Florida for the next chapter. We're quite excited at the prospect, but it'll be with mixed emotions. Taichung has been home for 3/4 years and there's much to miss about the place.Time is short and our weekends are booked to try and say goodbye to people and places one last time.
I undertake to keep the news fresh and as such hopefully the ties strong.
Marco (and Sarah)
