Last full day here in Taiwan :(
Well, today surely was a sad day, but won't be as sad as tomorrow :( it's my last full day here it Taiwan. So basically, the past few days I have been helping out my grandma and my mom do shopping most of the time, so today was dedicated to me :) This time I didn't forget my camera hehe. Let's see, we set off this morning around 9ish to visit my great aunt and uncle. We visit them every time we come back to Taiwan, because when my dad was really young, they really helped out his family, so he has been always grateful to them. They truly are good people, when your around them, you just can't help but feel humble and courteous. I was pretty disheartened to see my great aunt in bed, since she is very ill, but it was definitely nice to give them visit none the less. Afterwards, we set out to Taipei 101, which was walking distance from my great aunt's place. I was determined to find myself a sweater, but found the ones I liked were WAY over my budget. For example, i have about 4600 NT to work with in buying a sweater, the one that I was looking for, being sold in Taipei 101, was 11,980 NT...waay over my budget...maybe if i saved some then I might get it in the future. Anyways we had lunch at Taipei 101, hehe me having subway, we also went to the market on the floor, where i got a butt load of socks, since I now completely refuse to eat airplane food now. We then found ourselves working our way up, where I found the higher you go the more expensive the stuff are haha. Well anyways, I wanted to go on the elevator that takes you to the topm but my mom didn't want to, so I said fine, we're going next time when my bro comes. Man Taipei 101 is clean, I wish I could live there :P. We then took the walkway over to New York New York, where we browsed around to no a veil. I was pretty bummed at this point cause I really wanted to get something from either Taipei 101 or New York New York. Then we went to the Xing Guan San Yuan around there, and still to no a veil, was really bummed at this point. We then set off to another Xing Guan San Yuan, which the second tallest building in Taiwan behind Taipei 101. At this point, I gave up on my sweater hunt and settled for a lebron polo long tshirt, and I found something for my mom to get my bro hehe. Well I was still pretty bummed since I planned on going on a shopping spree on the last full day here in Taiwan. So we went to the Taipei Main Station Underground Mall, which I gotta say was pretty huge. I didn't get any clothes, but I did find this game store, where, being as I may a once Anime Freak, got a lot of anime related stuff including a present for one of my old buds. But yea, I got stuff related to two of my fave animes, so that really brighten up day. Well I took a lot of pictures along the way, came back and my uncle stopped by, and my mom and him were talking about religious stuff, which was pretty cool. Well here I am now, started packing a little now, will blog tomorrow to recap and highlight my stay in Taiwan for sure.
