We returned to the Taiwan embassy (TECO) office this morning and picked up our documents. We were very excited and parked in a Japanese parking lot only to realize our car had a ramp come up underneath it and we couldn't get out until we paid! It was hysterically funny because neither of us can read Japanese and the coin operated machine didn't have any english or picture icons to help us figure out what to do. I ran down the street and found a tiny elderly Japanese lady and used my Japanese language to ask if she could help us. We walked back to the parking lot and when she saw our car, she giggled and then showed me how to pay. The situation certainly helped to ease some of the stress we were feeling!
We were finally able to go inside the TECO office to get our documents. They gave us our documents and we walked to the elevator quietly.....David and I both burst into tears as soon as we got in the elevator. It was such a huge relief to have those documents back! We stopped at the entrance and took our picture in front of the Taiwan flag.
