Autumn

Here in Kaohsiung, the seasons are a bit different from the States. No beautiful changing leaves herald the entrance of fall, but here are some ways that I know it's around that time of the year:

• The days are noticeably shorter (less than twelve hours of sunlight...and it's already dark by 5:30pm)
• I am no longer sweating profusely after being in the sun for 5 minutes
• AC is no longer a necessity 
• Scootering at night feels chilly
• Jeans!

 I do miss Autumn in the West, though. I miss the crisp chilly weather, the glorious colors, the pumpkin spices and the apple cinnamons. *sigh*.... enjoy it for me! =)
