OUR LUCK HAS CHANGED!

Like I’ve mentioned before, because of Typhoon Morakot, my hospital stay, the earthquakes and us losing our camera, some people here are concerned about our luck. I’m happy to report, though, that our luck has changed! This past week we won 400NT (about 12USD) from the Taiwan Lottery! :)

To win money from the Taiwan Lottery you don’t have to buy a ticket, you simply have to save your receipts. Every receipt in Taiwan has a lottery number on it. We’ve been told the government decided to do this in attempt to motivate merchants keep quality, accurate records of their sales and in an attempt to keep people from throwing receipts on the ground. Regardless of the reasons behind this lottery, we think it’s pretty fun!
