I'm feeling rather discouraged because I was at the department store and there were these really cute skirts but they were all too small around the waist. And then I was at the nightmarket in Taichung and there are all these shoe shops were you can get cute shoes for between $150 to $400 ($4.50-$12.00US), but none of them have my size, so the only ( Read more... )

Speaking of crude language- The kids around here through around English cuss words with as little care as I have when I use German or Spanish profanity. Lol. Because it doesn't really mean anything to them. Nor does it mean anything to the teachers, who also don't care. So I'm the only one who is ever shocked to hear "f*ck" in the middle of class ( Read more... )

I think today has been the best day since I got here. We went out to dinner in Taichung City with another outbound to Mexico (besides my host sister), two inbounds from Mexico, and a rebound from Taiwan who went to Alaska last year (?!?! sounds boring as hell... but! there are moosen!). We hung out at the restaurant, talking, for like 2.5 hrs. And ( Read more... )

Miracle of miracles- I found my Gin Gins stash! I somehow manage to constantly have stashes of food kept around my room that I can snack on while computering it up. I've already gone through my butterfingers, M&Ms, Nature Valley bars, the bag of candy I got here, and the oreos and BaBa Cat Chocolate (essentially Koala's March w/ cats instead) that ( Read more... )

我很儽了！
(Wo hen lei le: I'm very tired.)

I enjoyed school a lot more today. Plus there was the tiniest kitten I've ever seen in my life... It was adorable... one of the students found it and the guidance counselor was taking care of it during the school day. But these 9 hr school days are really killing me... and I haven't even been a full week. >_I ( Read more... )

School- Overwhelming. I was treated like a celebrity... everyone wanted to meet me. I was literally cornered at times. I stuck out like crazy cause I'm tall, I'm white, and I don't have my uniform yet. Also, I had to introduce myself in front of the entire school. Scary as hell ( Read more... )

Wow. I just pretty much had like the most fun I've had here. It may tie with the amusement park, but other than that, this has been the best day. I went shopping with two girls who are daughter's of my second host mom's co-worker... or something. Anyway, I forget their Chinese names, but they were sooo nice. I'm not sure how old they are, but I ( Read more... )
