I flew to Taiwan at the very end of December last year, finally managing to make good on an old resolution to escape the chaos and out-of-control fireworks that are Berlin around New Years. It was the beginning of a month of family time (my parents, sisters, nephews, and I were all in Taipei for varying periods of time). For me, it was a mix of time off, working remotely, escaping some of the Berlin winter, and spending time with my parents without having to fly to Michigan.
