Christmas, New Years, and back in Taiwan
Well as you can surely tell by the picture, Jen and I were back in Canada for the holidays. And man, it was great!
I was in Winnipeg with my family for Christmas, and it was fantastic. I had been feeling pretty homesick this fall, doubly so while I was recovering, and the trip home has left me feeling recharged. I was afraid before I returned that I wouldn’t want to come back to Asia; now, I feel more like how I did when I first came to Taiwan one year ago.
Vancouver was great as well, although where Winnipeg had been 8 days of relaxing, eating, and more eating, Vancouver was all about trying to fit as much as possible and to see as many people as possible in four short days. And it didn’t help that I managed to smash up my rental car pretty good when some idiot in a Porsche Carrera ran a stop sign and crossed a major street without looking!
Two weeks from now, Jen’s parents are coming to Taiwan for a visit, a few days later Steve Holmes is joining us, and then in mid-February we’re off to Thailand for a two-week holiday, so the next little while should be pretty fun. Talk to you soon!
Hi Jon and Jen!
It was great to see you over the holidays Jon. And thanks so much for the bamboo chop sticks! So nice of you to give me something. Jen it was too bad I didn’t get to see you….maybe in the summer? I wish it could have been a bit longer of a visit ….oh well next time! Have fun and keep in touch.

Hey Jon,
I guess you’ll be in Thailand around now if your blog can be trusted. If you feel like it you could check out my old yoga school on Koh Pangan, it’s called Agama. Our producer Julien from Switzerland is there now, I could give him the heads up that you’re around. If not, or as well, I heard there’s legendary rock climbing somewhere near Krabi or something, some of the best around, faces of all level right above the ocean. And if you happen to go to Koh Tao I quite liked this place called Ao Leuk, wicked snorkeling, and you get the sunise over the sea (no sunset though).
Have a good one eh!
Jake
Oh yeah, Happy New Year!
