Install Cut Short. Los Angeles, California

 March 22, 2004  Posted in Uncategorized

After my rest and relaxation in Taipei in January I was ready to start my hectic travels from Minneapolis all around the U.S. In March I was sent to Los Angeles for an install. During this trip I met up with my friends Tung and Judi… halfway through the install bad news struck and my aunt called to tell me my grandma was gravely ill. Although I immediately bought a ticket from L.A. to Taipei I did not get the chance to say goodbye in person…

Tung took a picture of my Nokia. While the picture was taken I received a call from my aunt telling me my grandma was gravely ill, and I need to book a flight back to Taiwan immediately…
Sweet Lady Lane, a cake shop near Melrose – we went there just before closing…
… where they gave almost all their left over bread to Tung to take home!

The next day, while at work (and booked my flight back to Taiwan), my grandmother passed away. I cancelled my installation and flew directly from Los Angeles back home…
