I'm so excited friends, next month I leave for Taiwan and I will be gone for a month. I have been super happy lately and planning it all has been a ton of fun too. Cool thing is it all happened very fast. Wednesday of this last week I thought seriously about it, then I talked to my friend who is there and Thursday I decided for sure that I was going. I guess I have been thinking about it for the last couple months but didn't really think it would be possible, but it is happening now.
I already ordered a new North Face Big Shot backpack online, should be here soon, and here's a pic:

I'm gonna order a new iPod Classic 120gb for all my music and movies for the 80 hours of traveling there and back alone.

Also looking to get a camera so I can take pictures on the trip of course.

If you have any other ideas of essentials for my trip let me know.
