I get a phone call around 11:30 telling me I got a confirmation number for my visa. That means I can go back to Korea, and my whole Overstay thing will finally be over!!!
One downside to all of this is: It takes more than a day here. I turned in my application and passport today, but won't get it back until Thursday. Of course none of us knew this at work, and the Korean Immigration office in Taiwan has yet to make a website. It's hard finding information about the "embassy" here in Taiwan.
But it doesn't matter because I can finally go home!!! I'm pretty stoaked about the whole situation. A little upset that it'll take more than a day, but that's a very small portion of me. The rest is just thoroughly excited to be going home.
When I got to the embassy, it was closed. 2 hour lunch break...yay! >_>. So I had lunch, then a java chip frappuccino then went back to the embassy and got everything squared away.
Afterwards, I went to the Eslite bookstore (much bigger than any other branch I've seen in Taipei now), looked for another Murakami book, but only found 1 (and it was the same one at the other place I went to). I have a specific title in mind (Norwegian Wood) but I have yet to find a store that has it. I'm worried that when Friday comes, I will have no reading material for the flight back. So that worries me a little. Gotta find another bookstore and see if they have the book. Otherwise, I'll just have to settle for Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Not that that's a bad thing, I'd just rather read Norwegian Wood first.
Let's hope I find it before leaving Taiwan eh?
I'm also in the process of not taking life too seriously anymore. Wish me luck ^_^
P-CE!
