Well, things got rearranged a bit but I'm taking off next week. I've switched to working with the Chinese figure skating team. I'm flying to Delaware to meet up with the team for 2 weeks. Then I am staying with the team and flying back to China.

I'm actually not sure which one. Hopefully we'll have a better president when I return!

Sounds like a trap.
I hope so, that's a fun story. Delaware is the notorious place to trap people and take them away to China.

It is because it’s so unassuming.
I don't know much about Taiwan. I had the newspaper sent to me for fifteen years, but it was government produced nationalist pov. I've worked for and with several people from Taiwan, but I've never been there. You're right..... I thought there was a short version of "Taiwanese" because almost everybody will find a short version.
The people I knew were fluent in English, and I didn't discuss such stuff. The aborigines, as I understand it, were Malayo-Polynesian linguistically, probably migrating via the Philippines. The newspaper made a lot of fuss over the native tribes and the effort to preserve their heritage.
So "Taiwan" was a hated name for Formosa among Formosans, but I think they've been assimilated somewhat. Nobody but a rising generation that has forgotten all the history would use the nickname "Tai" on Taiwan...… but then..... who ever even knew that history to begin with. Looking above it seems proves me wrong on that too.
If you are going to Beijing I strongly suggest to buy a property there, property prices in Beijing apparently raising every year and even if you decide to return back in the future it would be a good investment.

Please don't. It's a massive bubble and not sustainable.
Well, I'm switching to the training the Chinese national triathalon team. It's good and bad news for me. It's sad because I have to move away from beijing. I really really like this city and made good friends here and a girlfriend. But this is a better team. The team trains in warm weather so I'll go to Weihai now which is a ocean City, then when it gets cold I'll go to an island on the very South of China called Hainan. Plus hopefully I'll get to go to the 2020 Olympics with the team.
I just booked a ticket to Seoul, Korean for next weekend. I have a few days off and tickets were $150 roundtrip. My Beijing Girlfriend and I are going! Korea has been near the top of my list for awhile, so I am excited. @Safetydan and @dong2ha Tell me what I need to do there! My only plan is to eat good food and find some good bars so far. Maybe hit up one of the big clubs just to see them. Oh and find good Soju. Maybe a K-pop show...lol.
