The Job Hunt

So I've thrown HTC out the window due to the distance of travel associated with working for them. I wouldn't really consider it the distance, but more of the way I'd have to get to their office. It just  wouldn't be suitable for me. The job that I wanted with HTC is based in Taoyuan, which is right by the International Airport. Driving would take me about 45 minutes if there isn't any traffic, and switching trains would take me about over an hour. It's just not worth it for me at the moment, and let’s just say I'm not very comfortable with driving or riding any vehicles here yet. Not a single bit..

Everything is moving so fast for me right now. It's only been one week! I mean, originally, I was going to Taiwan just to teach English. Now, teaching English has been bumped down my list as a reserve option. I say that because I just applied for an international sales position with a company called 'WuLin'. They sell and manufacture computer parts, so I'd be the guy reaching out to clients from all around the world. If I land this job, the best part about it is the fact that it's only a two minute walk away. It's literally right downstairs from where I live! Talk about convenience! I literally generated a new resume from scratch. It took me a good hour or so, but it's looking pretty sharp to me. I've attached an image of what it looks like.

As for everything else, I've been spending my money way too quickly out here. I have this stigma I need to throw out of my head. That stigma is the US Dollar to NT ratio. Obviously, I'm not in the States any more; therefore, I won't be making as much money. BUT, if I land this new job, I'll be on the safe side of leisurely enjoying shopping and eating again. If I land this sales job, I'll be getting a starting salary of about $35k + bonuses a year. What that breaks down to is: estimated income of $38k X 31 = 1,178,000NT per year. Not too bad! Especially if some good pork chops only cost 60NT! I'll be able to eat everything forever here. My inner fatty is speaking again. Sorry.
What else is on my mind? Well lets see. I HATE MOSQUITOS. I WISH THEY WERE EXTINCT. YES THIS IS ALL IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM RAGING RIGHT NOW. I've been bit over 10 times in the past week here already. Two of them are really gnarly. They look more like bruises than anything, and they've swollen to a point where they're more painful than they are itchy.

Last night was an insane night as well... we went to club Luxy again, but this time around, one of the owners was hanging out with us. What does that result in? How about him double fisting full sized bottles of liquor, and endlessly pouring them down our throats. He kept on topping off my glass cup, which was already filled with liquor. All bad..

I wake up the next morning extremely groggy and disheveled. As I was brushing my teeth, I noticed something on my neck... 
It was a hickey. I looked in my phone, and I have a bunch of new numbers in there. Apparently, I was making out with a girl right in front of the main bar. This was probably around 4am, right before they were closing up, and when my memory started to fuzz out.

Man, things are getting out of control here!
Ahhh Taiwan. You're treating me so well, so soon already.
More to come in the future. Stay tuned guys!
