Found In Translation

This post is from two incredible people writing from Taiwan. Hopefully they'll be sending me posts once a week or so detailing what they've eaten and what the corners of their room look like so that we can get a hint of what it might look like when fully reassembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination...Ladies and Gentlemen...I give you Found In Translation

The corners of our room, of which there is only one save for a bathroom, are a striking white. A fine juxtaposition against the redbrown spots on the walls created by violent warfare waged against the mosquitos that attack us at night. Here is a list of the things i've eaten in the last twenty four hours:
wax pears
papaya
dragon fruit
bow wan
sweigh jow
tang mien
tang ban tiao
There is another fruit, I don't know what it's called but it tastes like a combination between a pear and the sap that flows out of pine trees. It's green and bumpy.
