Made In Taiwan | Retail Therapy
I’m safe! (Thank you for asking.) And relatively dry, if you don’t count the humidity, or my workout in said humidity earlier today.
And the funeral services for my Grandmother, taking place over 2 days, are now complete. The trip is making for some terrific family time, with old, long-buried stories from both sides of my family coming to the surface.
For the first time as an adult, I’m experiencing Taiwan fully, including in my body, boundaries nicely in place…being very myself, come hell or high water, and, well, there was some high water here, courtesy of Typhoon Morokat.
Still, at the risk of being flip, sometimes money and meaning intersect, and get expressed in very simple ways. In this case, it was through 3 pairs of gorgeous, inexpensive, comfortable shoes, made in Taiwan, and bought with much shared laughter for about $50 by a mother and her daughter. (Said mom will likely be surprised to find a photo of her shoes on her daughter’s blog, however. Hi, Mom!)
More glimpses from Taiwan - likely of a more thoughtful variety, but no guarantees – soon to come.
Glad to hear that you are safe. Every time the news reports on the typhoon, I wonder how you’re faring over there. So thanks for letting us know.
