Another unpaid holiday

I think that it's taken me a year to get used to the idea that when you're asked to take a day-off in Taiwan that means you ain't gonna get paid! Although that's not strictly true because I did get a few days thrown in as a token gesture over the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday was Tomb Sweeping Day, and we drove out to mum's grave to deliver some flowers and say "hi".

There is very long hill on the road out of Taichung and the car could barely make it as the engine is old and tired. But we hope to keep the car running until we leave Taiwan sometime in March next year. Well at least that's the plan.
