Wow wow, thank you thank you thank you all.
Sorry about disappearing for a while. Been busy with work and family stuff - went down to see my parents, brother was here for two weeks, couple girls keeping me extremely occupied. You know, the usual.
But the bday celebration was a smash. I got completely shitfaced and did a stripdance, according to some of the photos on my camera. (Actually, I just found out that my friend's gf decided to mash a piece of cake in my face, and it got all over my clothes - I was taking off my shirt to clean it.) Anyway, that KTV place will probably think twice before letting me book a room again.
So yet another birthday, and my first in Taiwan. Here's to many, many more festive occasions!
