ABOUT ME

Yes, it is true...I now live in Taipei City, Taiwan. I moved here in October 2005 after paying Asia a visit earlier that year. After working for a software company in Winnipeg for over seven years I decided to make a change. So now I work for a software company in Taiwan...so really, not much really changed.

Except now I say "xie xie" instead of "thank you" when I buy my morning coffee...
