Closer...

I think that tmrw i will go and buy my ticket to Taiwan! i'm very excited but at the same time extremely nervous, so we'll see if i break a sweat when i'm about to pay.

well there was another bump in the road this week. apparently i need to do another blood exam for my work permit so i might have to go back to the doctor's again! this is gonna delay my application for my residence permit so now i have to apply for a visitor visa and then get a residence permit once i get into Taiwan. But i'm keeping my head high and trying to imagine myself already at my new desk working away and then relaxing in my apartment. i've been reading blanca and liz's blog and they give me hope, hahaha, that this will all work itself out, lol.

so my last day at work at encana will be the 20th of sept and i will start work at Coiler on Oct 2. I plan to leave on the 25th of Sept so that i have time to settle in. all this seems boring to read, i bet, but i promise once im in taipei it will get much more interesting!!!

It has begun...

Torture, thats all I can say, I HATE applying for visas, no matter which country you go too, its never easy. Today I went to the doctors to get a health certificate but he said I needed some form. Now I will have to wait till next week and take time of work to go back. Plus I couldn't even find the stupid form on the Taiwanese website so hopefully the TN manager can send me one soon. Anyways I know everything will turn out but I wish I could magically get my resident visa and work permit right now and skip this whole fiasco.
