Retreat

I’m on a retreat right now… A retreat of my own making… There are many things I would want to blog about since a LOT of things have transpired in the past few weeks – Taiwan, and now, Germany.

But I am in a period of inward consolidation.

Maybe after my ‘exile’ here, I will have the proper perspective to write about the harrowing harassing enriching experience.

I have to thank my wife and son for keeping me sane all throughout the ordeal.

In Military Strategy and Tactics, a retreat is not always a signal for defeat. It has been employed as a ploy to lure an enemy into a trap. But generally, it is a time to gather up one’s forces, assess the situation, and think over a new, more effective plan to subdue the enemy.

Sorry about the military strategy thing, but I’ve been buried in Romance of the Three Kingdoms – both the novel and the game (the 11th one is a souvenir from Taiwan; a PC game in Chinese where I found an English translation patch on-line).
