Travel Monies
Wow, I just got an email from the
International Society of Biomechanics. Apparently, I recieved a
$1000 travel grant to go to Taiwan this summer for their annual
conference. I was not expecting to get this. In fact, I thought I
was certainly not going to get to go to Taiwan anytime soon.
Hopefully if I do end up going to the conference, I can make a few
side trips to see my grandparents and other relatives. Better start
beefing up on my Taiwanese, as well as some Mandarin phrases for
when I'm out in the city. A phrase like, "Anyone know how to speak
English?" will probably help me a lot.
It's funny because just yesterday it was on my heart to plan a
trip to Taiwan sometime in the near future. My grandparents are
getting old and I want to maximize the opportunities that I have to
see them. Same with other relatives too. I have an aunt, uncle and
grandaunt who live in New Orleans. I haven't seen them in a few
years either, and I feel like I need to make a priority to visit
them too.
