Rain is pouring

I'm writing my first post as the rain is pouring outside. Can't hear much. Hope my room doesn't get flooded again.

My new life has just started. Getting back to Taiwan and to my roots... sounds like a joyful homecoming event but I feel more like a stranger than anywhere else. I do look local but I can't even read a menu so I've been eating at 2 particular spots near my place and in each place I only know one dish. Fortunately I can vary my eating habits because I go out with cousins from time to time. Eating is a critical social topic that takes a real part in your daily life. You can basically eat all the time and find all types of foods anywhere. There are apparently 3000 7-Eleven all over the country (in France, they would be our "arabe du coin") and they are open 24/7. Right around my place, there are 4 of them within a 2-min walking distance. Eating... such a big topic that I think it'll take me a whole year to develop.

...Rain is still pouring... I'll probably get something to eat...
