:: Hot & Cold ::

My forearms are significantly darker than the rest of my body. When I first noticed this, I knew I had to hit the beach soon. This was months ago, and my feet have yet to touch sand. Tomorrow they will. This weekend, I bid goodbye to the city - and embrace the sun, sand, and surf. Come Monday though, it's back to the smog, steel, and smell of the city.
The jackets in my closet are gathering dust - figuratively speaking, at least. Even in the air-conditioned confines of this building, the temperature rarely drops low enough to make me want to wear an extra layer of clothing. Step outside and the idea of wearing anything warmer than a regular t-shirt becomes ridiculous. Summer is here, and I want to be anywhere but in the city. The beach is the only place for me now. Of course, if the temperature drops by some 10 degrees (or more), I wouldn't mind the concrete and steel environment so much. It's a good thing then that I'm heading to Taiwan.
I'll be flying North in mid-May, staying there for around 10 days. If my memory serves me well, the temperature in Taipei in May will be in the low to mid 20s (in the 70s, for those who use Farenheit). Nice and cool.
Anyway, I feel the need for some hot food in my stomach. I'm off!
