Last day in Taiwan ...

After counting down to our temporary departure from Taiwan, now it's time for the real thing. Tonight, at 11 pm, our EVA flight will leave from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. Tomorrow at 9.40 am we will be in Amsterdam.

We spent our last two days in Taiwan saying goodbye to quite a few people (and places). Breakfast Monday was at Brunch Bagels with Susan and Sarah (and Niamh and Philip), lunch at Starbucks, dinner in ZhongHe, with TPV.
Breakfast Tuesday was in Chungli, with Pieter's former Philips group. This was an especially heartwarming goodbye, with lots of thank-you's, gifts, speeches, pictures and cake.
Lunch today we had at Pieter's favorite Italian restaurant, Turin Ristorante, also in Chungli. Tyron, the owner, made us a delicious calzone, just to make sure Pieter would really miss his great pizza's :-) Finally, this afternoon, I picked up the last skirt YuJu has been making for me (I almost forgot). And the very last thing we'll do here is go to a playground one last time and then have dinner at the hotel. The car has been picked up already and the taxi will be here at 8 pm.

Next post will be from the Netherlands.
