Friends - US and Taiwan!

I just wanted to make a post to discuss my friends. Here in the US I've moved around a good bit. I used to think I hadn't made any lasting friendships, but recently I realized that even though I lost contact with some of my friends, we are still good friends and if I see them again I'll be happy to hang out. I have made a good number of friends during the last year and I am really glad I was able to get out and socialize more. I am still reluctant to get out and do things sometimes but I think I am getting better about it. Once I get to Taiwan I hope I can make a lot of good friends and have fun!

Then there are my MSN friends, people I met on various websites, most of which live in, or have something to do with, Taiwan. Most of them I have to admit are girls, partially because I am single, and partially because its kinda hard and awkward making friends with guys online, guys just aren't all that chatty with each other, and I usually get bored when discussing guy things with people I am not already friends with. My online friends have been really helpful, just discussing cultural things, stuff about taiwan, about international relations, and so forth. A lot of people have offered to look for apartments for me, or just give me some hints or suggestions if they hear anything useful. I hope I can meet a lot of them when I arrive, it will be fun to visit the different cities and all that!

So in conclusion, thanks to all my friends! My Greenbelt Friends, Towson Friends, UMD Friends, my Co-workers, and everyone else! You all mean a lot to me and I think about you often, even if you don't hear from me!
