I'm now a full-time PhD student in the department of Mathematics, Royal Holloway College, University of London.
I'm working on research into lightweight cryptography, courtesy of the UK taxpayer (via the EPSRC) .
Should I feel guilty about being funded for 3 years by the government and then planning to jump ship and contribute to the Taiwanese economy instead? Maybe, but I don't haha. I really feel the UK is such an unpleasant place to live now on so many levels that I feel very little sympathy towards the plight and future plight of my country.
Mickey and I are happier than ever - she is currently working in Taiwan, but she is moving back to the UK later this year to be with me - something I can never thank her enough for doing.
Well maybe I can, because the plan is for us to move back to Taiwan once I finish the PhD and for us to live there.
I don't think either of us realised how taxing it is to maintain a long-distance relationship.
Even for the strongest and closest couples, maintaining a long-distance relationship is not something that comes naturally - it requires constant attention and care to nurture and keep it alive...
