Last week was Thanksgiving. The most important thing about Thanksgiving, which is on a Thursday, at least in America, is the big sale after on Friday! Seriously! The second most important thing of course is the Turkey, then comes the mashed potatoes, etc. anyways, giving thanks is really quite low on the list of importance. Heh.
I wanted to mention that we bought a GPS system during the biggest sale of the year. It's a Tomtom One, and actually they have this model in Taiwan. You can even purchase Taiwan maps and install them. I think it was a good purchase. GPS systems are indispensable these days, especially if you're traveling to somewhere you've never been. The paper maps of old are really going obsolete, and that's good and bad. It's good because GPS is just so much easier to use. It's bad because nobody will ever REMEMBER locations anymore, and we won't have beautifully drawn detailed and intricate maps like those from the 1600s, since everything is accessible on demand from your portable navigation system. Then again, people these days don't really draw maps like that anyways.
This is the digital age!
