Ur Home Now?

Ur Home Now?

Yes…..

How was it?

How was what?

The mechanic?

Mmm… it’s a long story… very boring…

?!?!?!?!

I already messaged my dad and my brother, so there’s no drama.

No drama but you had to message Dad and Brother?!

Uhuh — it’s all good.

Do I get to learn about this too?

Do you know anything about cars?

A little bit?!

It’s really boring, I don’t think my readers are going to care about my car’s servicing history.

Mmm… what are you having for lunch?

Just some yoghurt.

That’s it?!?!?!

Yeah. Because I now have Korean BBQ Hot Pot to look forward to for this evening — I’m saving my appetite for THE BIG FEAST!

(Smiles)

I saw your live…

You did?!

I… don’t fully understand… what was going on…

(Giggles)

What were you DOING?!?!?!

Nothing… (smirk)

It could’ve been A.I. — ?!

Could it?!?!?!?!

How would we know for sure?!?!! You didn’t show your FACE —

I showed my face!!!

When?!?! I didn’t see that part —

Maybe it didn’t show it because your phone is in Australia — I showed my face.

This is total fictional BS…

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)

What was the point of that LIVE?!?!?!?!

You’ll read about it soon…

Will I?!?!?!

Yes… I think so…

I thought, maybe they’re testing to see if people will be willing to listen to them host a PODCAST?!

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) — Actually — we did NOT think about that!!! ^0^

(Smiles… shaking her head)… I actually wrote another draft but I didn’t publish it yet…

What was your draft about?

Living in Taiwan…

Oohh…?

Yeah… but… now I’m not feeling it…

Please?! Publish it…?! I wanna read it…

Well we can just keep talking about it right now, on here.

Okay? I’m all ears… eyes… I’m reading…

Mmm… I like the modern buildings in Taiwan. If you want to buy an apartment or a house there.

Modern… okay…

Like the houses could be those 5-storey ones, you know? They’re not as “wide” as Australian houses, in fact they’re more like a Townhouse in Australia, but they build up, so it ends up being like 4 or 5 -storeys.

(Nodding)…

But I don’t want one of those unless we have an elevator.

(Nodding)…

Because I’m TIRED — I don’t want to climb up and down 4 or 5 storeys of stairs.

Agree — I don’t want to do that either.

So if you get one of those, then, we’ll need an elevator… and… maybe a maid?

A maid?

There’s lots of Taiwanese agencies for maids, to maintain those types of houses. Just get a maid. I’m not cleaning those kinds of houses!

(Chuckles) — Okay, so we’ll get a maid.

But I don’t need the maid to live with us when we’re there — I don’t think we’ll be there for that long? Maybe maximum 3 to 6 months?! I don’t see it as a place that we’re living in for 3 or 5 years, anything like that.

Uhuh… so the maid gets to take a very long holiday when we’re there.

Yes. Well — maybe 2 weeks or so, because she needs to come back to clean it, even while we’re living there, especially if we’re there for 3 or 6 months.

Okay — the maid gets to go — for 2 week holidays — come back, clean for a few days, then go on holidays again.

(Chuckles) — Yes, something like that. Because we don’t want her around if we’re going to… you know…

What?!

(Whispers) Have sex?!?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA……………

So the maid is not around — ALL the time — she’s just… helping out, sometimes. And she gets to live there when we’re not there.

(Nodding)

I don’t know who in Taiwan can help you sort that out, but if you’re going to buy a house, then… yeah — something like that.

(Nodding)… where… what suburb…? Area…?

I don’t feel like writing about that on the public blog.

Why not?!

Anyway, there’s only so many “wealthier” suburbs to choose from. Just pick a modern, nice looking house in one of them.

(Raising one eyebrow)… how many suburbs?

Not many. There’s a reputation. Just ask any real estate agent. They’ll point you in the right directions.

What is like… the average… cost? Of these suburbs?

Hmmm…

(Googling)…

Okay, I just did the conversation from TWD to KRW:

118,451,470Β South Korean Won

Is that the RENT?! What are you calculating from?!

Oh hang on —

I missed a zero…

Okay, like AVERAGE: $20~30 million Taiwanese Dollars… approx $600-800,000 USD.

That’s the average? That’s the average price of a house in a “nice” suburb?

Maybe… (shrugs shoulders)…

Maybe?!

I haven’t been back in a while! I don’t really know — first-hand — This is just from random googling…

How much are the houses that you ACTUALLY like?

(Smiling…) Do you really wanna know…?

Yes, My Love — You are my WIFE — I want to know how much are the houses you actually like — in Taiwan.

Well…

Hmmm….?

Before the Pandemic…

Before the Pandemic…?

BEFORE the Pandemic — There were some NICE houses that I once noticed, whilst driving past, with my parents…

And…?

And at THAT time –– their costs was approximately… 2 to 3 million dollars, USD. Around about that.

(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)

Stop laughing at me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can afford it, right?!?!?!

YOU CAN AFFORD IT?!?!?!?!!?

Baby, what if I have to tell you that — I can’t?!?!?!?!?!

That’s okay, I don’t even expect to live in Taiwan long-term anyway. Let’s just AirBnb. We don’t even need to buy a house?!

(LOLOLOLOLOLOL)

You’re still laughing…

(Chuckles)… I love you…

Okay? I love you too?!

(Smiles) (Hug hug, kiss kiss)…

So it’s probably worth like 5 or 6 million USD now?

What?!

The houses you used to like — the ones you drove past with your Dad — they’re probably worth 5 or 6 million USD now — post-pandemic…

I have no idea……………….

What kind of place would be “too much” for us to buy in Taiwan?

… It’s like the same as in Australia or anywhere else in the world!? Don’t spend $20- or $30 million USD on a HOUSE?!?!?! In TAIWAN!??!!?!?

Oh… so you don’t want those…?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Chuckling)

Are you sure you can even afford the $2 million USD type of houses?

(Smiling)

$2 million? Yes. $20 million? No.

(LOL)…………. I don’t actually want a house in Taiwan.

But what if you NEED to because I’M STILL TOURING WITHIN MY COUNTRY?!?!?!

(Sigh) — This is just a hypothetical. It’s not REAL… It’s not REALITY!!!

It could very possibly be our reality…!!! 2028? 2029?!?!?!

Ugh… We’re going THAT far into the future?!?!?!?!

Maybe…?!

Fine. I guess… let me check, how many hours is it to fly from Taiwan to your country…

It takes 2 hours and 45 minutes.

(Smiles) I already knew that…

Okay, but I didn’t…

(Smiles)

Am I flying back and forth, or are you flying back and forth?

If you don’t want to fly back and forth, I can fly back and forth.

Really?!

(Nodding) I don’t mind… I can do it… for you…

(Sigh) I feel like I seem so demanding as a wife…

(Smiles) You’re not… you’re really not…

Okay…? Well…? I’m sure my parents would be happier if I stayed near them in Taiwan during that time?

(Nodding) Okay then. I’ll fly back and forth, it’s alright.

Even when we’re married?

Yes. Even when we’re married. I don’t mind.

Okay… well… I don’t know how this fits in with your Brisbane residency timeline and everything else…

It will fit… it will all… fall into place… one day…

Okay…? (Shrugs shoulders)… why do you prefer that I don’t stay in your country?

Ah…. sometimes… the fans… are a little… too much…

You think so?

Yeah… even some of my bros’ wives… they’re not here… they could be in Japan or Hong Kong, or somewhere else…

Really?!?!?!?!

(Nodding)… we keep them away… for their safety…

You know, I think like maybe — just maybe — there could be some kind of cultural REFORM to like — help people — not be such CRAZIES?!?!?!?!

(Can’t… describe… his laugh… right now)…

Okay whatever, it’s not my culture… I don’t know what I’m even writing about. This is all just my imagination… I’ve never even set foot in your country.

No. You haven’t. And it might be better to keep it like that.

You’ve been spooked, recently?

A little bit, yeah…

What happened?

Nothing…

Does it involve me?! And my blog?!

NO — Not at all. You’re perfectly safe. I’ve always made sure of this.

Okay…?!!?!? Then why?! How?! How did you get spooked?!

It didn’t happen to me or even my bros — there’s just news… of other people… things happening…

Okay…?

You DON’T need to worry about it. You enjoy and live your life in AUSTRALIA. Stay happy. Stay not-knowing… don’t worry about any of it.

I’m really — I don’t know shit — nothing’s being reported in the Australian news?!?!? Or even my Google news?!?!?

DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANY OF IT.

Okay?!?!?!!?

I love you… that’s all that matters… I’m gonna buy us a house in Taiwan… it’ll be… nice… modern… a nice surprise… with an elevator… and a maid, I’ll organise a maid…

It doesn’t even need to be organised this year, though!?!?!?!

You don’t know that… I want to organise it this year… I want it there… I just want to know that, that house is there — any time. It’s there.

Why?!?!?!?!

DON’T. WORRY. ABOUT. IT.

Ohh… kay….?!?!?!?! Then?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I love you.

I love you too… xoxoxoxoxox
