Taipei IS the wrong way, you're right. But it was like $800 cheaper to go via Taipei than to get a direct flight from Japan and it would have ended up being the same number of transfers no matter what.
Yeah unknown it was a day of constipation and then the opening of the floodgates. Tomorrow is going to be brutal too.
Today I got up and went for a 3 mile (too slow to count as exercise) walk with my mom, pecked Man-Purse and made chicken noises at him and saw him off, went to Panera for lunch, and my friend and I met up with another friend and spent the day on a lake in a boat swimming and peeing and uhh getting in touch with nature. After a few hours of that we hit up this awesome local BBQ joint and gorged ourselves sick on pulled pork, ribs, burgers, curly fries, and a "garbage platter" which is basically a giant pile of crap (ground beef, baked beans, fries, pasta salad, sausage chunks, and a whole bunch of BBQ sauce). My friend went to bed and I ran off to meet some old HS friends at a microbrewery but I got sleepy and party tricked (started falling asleep) early into the night.
