Pretty much this whole trip I have been looking forward to seeing Sven again and meeting his new wife Chen-yu. It has been almost 10 years since I last saw him. Well he is now married to a beautiful and now pregnant Taiwanese woman who he met in Germany 8 years ago where they both live. The two of them make great couple who complement each other well. Sven is very thorough and takes his sweet time while Chen-yu is definitely a total type A personality who is on the go wanting things to have happened 10 minutes ago. We have had a lot of fun together so far and I am really looking forward to the celebration that her family has planned for them.
Sven is vegetarian and Chen-yu not, so the two of us are always eating and she is introducing me to the many new foods here in Taiwan. For such a little thing, she eats as much or more than me, which is amazing. We were at this one restaurant yesterday, Chen-yu and I had finished our plates (Sven not, still picking), and Chen-yu leaned back in her seat to give her belly some room, and the waitress’s eye caught her stomach (4 months pregnant), and you could see this puzzled look come over her face as Chen-yu talked about how full she was. Probably should have been there to see it, but you get the picture.
Hey Jeremy, a belated happy birthday to you. How did you celebrate? We’re all here at Pam’s place, including Andrea who arrived Friday night, where we celebrated Andrea’s return, April’s and your birthday. I baked a big fillet of salmon on a bed of orange slices and parsley and made a spicey orange sauce to drizzle of the salmon once cooked. Dessert was a Chantilly Berry birthday cake from Wholefoods. We missed you!
