Jet Lag

I usually pride myself in being to adjust quickly to time zones when I travel. For some reason, though, since I returned from a 2 week stay in the U.S. last Saturday I have been unable to re-adjust back to Taipei time. I've been going to bed about 7 or 8 (okay, closer to 7) and waking up around 2 or 3.

On the one hand, it's kinda cool to be awake at 3 AM in the middle of the city with the windows open to take advantage of the cool weather. Even in the middle of the night I can hear the random honk of a taxi horn (who are they honking at?) and the rev of a scooter's engine.

On the other hand, there's something creepy about prowling around the apartment in the middle of the night all by myself.

But then, I just had a horrible thought - maybe I'm not jet lagged at all. Maybe I'm just ... OLD.
