The Other Day:
Well let see the other day was our Sunday, and honestly I wasn't expecting much of the day other than the dinner with my other uncle. We started the day off by going to a market where my grandma, my mom and my aunt went to buy a butt load of food, which I had to carry. We came back around noon time and ate lunch. My mom was expecting two of her old friends to stop by and chat. So I decided to take a quick nap, which quickly almost turned into a 3 hr nap. *sigh* must have been tired from the other day or something. Well when i went to sleep its was about 2:30 and i woke up around 5 and my mom was still talking with her friends haha. Well they left, and we were abound too as we carpooled with my other uncle to go eat. We all fit into my uncles nissan x-terra suv, so it was my uncle, my aunt, my mom, my cousin and I. I was surprised where we went to eat, the hospital. We ate at a Tzu Chi Hospital, which I gotta say was pretty friggin awesome. We basically went into the basement floor where there were a lot of restaurants around. Like if you live around Cali, its like the food courts in the malls, except the food was a lot cheaper and tasted better, basically you get your money's worth. Well basically in egg rice, which was basically ketchup rice put inside an omelet, that was pretty big it was about 6" in diameter. Then I had a hamburger, and shaved ice cream, I couldn't finish that one. The plate for the shaved ice was literally 12" in diameter, I swear it could have held a basketball inside easily. Well that was most I ate so far, and my stomach was really bloated. Funny story, when my uncle order three shaved ice in the dead of winter when it was becoming really cold, her eyes widened and reminded us that it was winter time, and my uncle was like....so....haha I thought it was pretty funny. My aunt and my mom called us “三個風子" sorry I don't know if i wrote that right but it basically means three crazy fools, cause we were the only people there, or for the day rather that order shaved ice haha. Well after the huge meal, my aunt wanted to take me to a night market called Wufen Pu. I gotta say I LUV IT THERE. All clothes there, I could have spent three hours there alone haha. The huge downside is, being 6'2", having broad shoulders and long arms, not a lot of stuff could fit for me. I did, however, manage to buy a rain jacket and a sweater, cause I heard NorCal has been deathly cold as of late. I was pretty satisfied with my finds there, but was not satisfied that it had to start raining that night as well. I really want to go back there the next time I go around :)
Yesterday:
Yesterday was kind of a downer for me, not too much happen, but you know me, when I'm here something always happens. So yesterday morning my youngest uncle left for the college he teaches at, and I accompanied my grandma to the NTU hospital, that place was pretty cool :) So we spent about the whole morning there, went to buy some bread and buns on our way back. We then had lunch, and had to say goodbye to my aunt who has been taking us around to places for the last few days and my grandma, though i head she is coming back up today to see us off tomorrow. We then set out a bookstore that sells a bunch of Dao books, then my mom wanted to take me to a famous temple in Taiwan, which is also well known for the fortune tellers that are in the underground paths under the temple. I won't tell you everything I heard about my life, since I didn't understand the lady some of the times. But, she did say I was gonna live the boss life after 38, and that i should go out to the business world as soon as possible since my fortune doesn't like in education. Yeah, pretty interesting, the woman hit on some of my interests, which really shocked me cause she never knew me before. We then went to Sogo, where I set out to buy tons of stuff but didn't cause I am really indecisive right now as to how to spend the rest of money, or where to spend it. Though I will spend it today. My mom, then met up with one of her old friends, and we ate at 5 star restaurant. I have to say it was pretty amazing, today was one of their slow days otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in. It's on the 10th floor of a building, so I had an amazing view of Taipei City, and the theme of the restaurant was Japanese, with modern twist on it. The food was OK, but the setting and view just blew my mind away. The only thing i regret was not bring my camera T_T, well after that we came back and rested up for the next day.
Well I am in my last full day at Taiwan and I gotta say I had a blast coming here, possibly one of my best visits here. I'll recap stuff tomorrow, but for now I plan to go on a shopping spree today to beat my friend who is having a shopping spree in Beijing hehe
