This is my second post. Today was a longgggggggg day - had Chinese class starting at 9:00am, but had to get up at 6:15am to get ready and get my daily dose of Starbucks to keep me awake during the day. After Chinese, we had a 2 hour break - Mariko, Corinne and I went to two different banks to exchange money; unfortunately we were going to be late for our Explore Taiwan culture class at 2:00pm, so we just left Bank of Taiwan and quickly walked to campus to get to our class. It was definitely interesting - we learnt about the location of Taiwan, composition of Taiwan's population, distribution of population in Taiwan, decline of fertility level - Taiwan's "success story" and current problems/issues facing the people of Taiwan. I didn't bother to take any pictures today, as today, like many other days for the month will be exactly the same (no reason to...); but yesterday we did go to the Gongguan Night Market; we ate Stinky Tofu (mmm, it was actually really good!), and then we ate chicken fillet, and I took a bite out of a cream filled waffle like thing (pretty yummy! altho Taro tasted better!)...
On Saturday, the day I actually flew in, I went to check out Taipei 101 (didn't go up yet though...), but checked out the overpriced stores (couldn't afford anything..lol) and I met Sam's co-worker/friend Tanesha. We went to eat lunch at the food court; I got definite culture shock, didn't believe it when I saw my portion of food that I bought - it came in a real bowl and wasn't just normal fast food, it was AWESOMEEEEEE jap curry, SO GOOD....I could definitely get used to this (maybe should just stay here longterm....lol :P) Our little clique went to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial and then to Ximending - that's where I came across a Daiso Japan; bought some cheap stuff for only $39NTD per item!! so CHEAP! :) We also checked out the infamous Modern Toilet restaurant...wasn't good AT ALL....ewwwww...and the washroom was a gross washroom...you'd think that they would have a real toilet..not those squat one....guess not! I'm tired....gonna go to bed now...NIGHT!
