The noose is tightening

Goodmorning everyone.
It's 19.47 PM and I'm just waking up, waiting for some dinner to quicken me up.

Lately I've been getting pictures from some contacts through rotary I have on facebook. Pictures taken by some of the rotary students who are already in their host country now, and I'm finally starting to feel a little more excitement about going to Taiwan.

For me there's still 20 days to take off from Denmark, and actually 21 days untill I'm in Taiwan, so it's still a little distant to me, and I haven't been thinking too much about it for that reason. It's kind of like I haven't realised that I'm going to spend a year of my life on the other side of the globe, and even though I know, I guess it's just too alien to me to comprehend it just yet.

Although, because of the pictures coming in from the other guys and gals and their new host families in New Zealand and Australia plus more, I have been thinking a lot about how it must feel to suddently live in a completely unknown familys home, and even more, going to become a part of that family, and I am really excited. Especially now that I am going to Taiwan where people don't speak english too good and are accustomed to completely different culture and customs. Heck, I might even end up in a family that don't speak english later in the year. But I'm not really scared about anything right now, actually. Well, except for forgetting something or not getting my visa in time, although I doubt anything like that is going to happen.
I'm just looking very much forward to see how it feels to get my everyday life turned completely upside down.

I am not ready though. Still need to get a lot of things done before I go there. Now, I'm looking forward to some reporting-backs from the Japan team who are going to take off in a few days. Maybe that can get me in a more this-is-for-real-ish mood. :)
