This is a little bit sad for me as I have just discovered your nice blog today. This August I will do my first travel to Taiwan :-) Perhaps I will find some useful informations here on your pages.
I think I can understand what you mean. Anyway. Thanks for blogging from and about Taiwan and good luck for you.
I'm not surprised to hear this, Michael, and I can certainly understand. I hope that it won't be a permanent exit, though--maybe just a vacation will allow you a different perspective on it.
I was starting to wonder how could you be so prolific and still get a life. Time to sort out what's really worthy for you!!
I allow myself about 2 to 3 hours/week on reading foreign posters in Taiwan, and it's been well spent, in big part thanks to you and your "centralizing" action (i.e. your weekly round up, and the links on the side of your page), it would be sad to see you go!!
I had wondered how you managed to juggle your work, blogging, and family life.
Thanks for the great teaching English in Taiwan site, I don't think I would have gotten here nearly as smoothly as I did without it.
Although I will miss the massive-multiple posts per day you supply to readers, I am much happier knowing that your life will be heading in a better direction.
Balancing life isn't about quitting net all together. It needs a balance of things such as healthy food, exercise, and yet still have time for fun on the computer. One hour a day is obviously enough to do what is needed on the internet.
Reading your blog has become a daily routine for me. I have learned so much about so many aspects of Taiwan, far more than from any other media. I can only guess that you have realised that your youngsters demand "some" of your time!!! Well my friend, that will increase exponentially until they leave home! Yes, work, kids, wife and self all have to be looked after, and the bodies beautiful will suffer if you dont do it well. Thanks Michael for all of your excellent work. And I think that you have to thank your tolerant wife too.. Best wishes, geoff
Trouble and strife is a signal, Paul, that something is wrong.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog round-ups, Professor, even when I didn't make them.

I'm sorry to hear that things are not well.
ReplyDeletePerhaps cutting back to a regular, limted posting schedule would help to give you some control.
What about all your loyal fans!? We'll have to riot!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you trying for some better balance.
ReplyDeleteBlogs should be about your life--not your whole life.
While I can take a little politics once in a while, I hope you rebalance to posting more about your family, life, and work in Taiwan.
