It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, It’s Taiwan    Before coming here I read my Lonely Planet guide to Taiwan many times over. There was one part, among many, that really stuck at out me. It said, “Many people hate Taipei, but they hate it so much they end up saying years on end.” I would completely agree with that, at least right now. I was just ( Read more... )

My Apartment…ugh.    Alright. So last night I was sitting on my computer and I saw a rat run across the living room floor. I jump up and grab my camera in one movement, and go over to where the rat ran, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I gave up and went back to being a nerd on my computer. Flash forward to today.

Stepped back and watch it spray through the crack ( Read more... )

Classes Started Today    I had my first day of class today. I got there a little early and got them to push me up a few levels. So, I went to that class, but it turned out to they use the same book, they are just using the last quarter of it. Anyway, I sat down, and we had to do this interview thing with the person sitting next to us. After we ( Read more... )

At orientation I got to speak (holds up four fingers) this many languages!    My nickname of "language whore" and this school being called the "ultimate brothel for my promiscuous language habits" is being totally upheld. I walked into the building, got into the elevator to go to the lecture center on the fifth floor, and three other girls walk in ( Read more... )
