I am a bit peeved. Today, the lovely roommates and I took a long walk, landing ourselves at the versatile Taipei 101 food court. Out of the several options, we chose Indian curry dishes and Kimchi soup. Great! In Taipei 101, amassing the world’s tallest building and the country’s most expensive shopping center, sat a poorly [...] How do you think it feels: The other night, lovely Pia and I strolled into a Taiwanese hotpot restaurant– a colorful place, with a little Taiwanese Man situated outside of the restaurant, heating hotpots a mile a minute, smiling and hopping around as if it were clockwork. It seemed like the perfect dinner spot to satisfy [...] I really enjoyed my stay in Bangkok and I encourage you to read my previous post on the compelling side of Thailand. There are, however, negatives to visiting Thailand, some of which you may be prepared for, semi-prepared for, or not at all. 1. Tourist Traps I’d like to think I am a smart traveler. [...] Face planted in non-deodorized armpit, bookbag stuck in bus door, and foot butchered in the unanticipated automatic swing of the hatch. Isabelle flattened behind the arm rail screaming that they re-shut the door. Awesome ride home on the G1 bus tonight. This photograph makes the bus look so warm and spacious. The guy looks so kind [...] Those days. Blah. Today I took my Chinese placement exam, and discovered that I would have to start praying.

So, that being said, even if I knew the answers of the writing or [...] A girl my age was just sprawled on the road, barely blinking and her leg… God, her leg…A chunk of skin, about the size of a hockey puck was ripped out, and you could see her entire bone. There was blood. No one was running to her. She was moving (barely), but the police decided [...] I have been trying to internet-ize this past week and it’s been patchy. So here are a few posts from my first days here in Taipei that I wanted to publish: 10pm 02 September Arrived to Taipei. I am currently driving in the rain with a taxi driver who, upon looking at my house address, went “ughhhhhh.” [...] I ran, ran, ran, bop, bop, stop, ok green man, bop, ran, bop, trip, laugh, bop, ran, bop, CAR, stairs, red man, green man, ran… What more can I say than, well, I need to run more… My ipod stays in the right hand, movil in the left. My first time socially experimenting my love [...] Check. Credit Cards and phone have been restored. Still searching for a nice wallet though. Nothing will replace my cheap metal cigarette holder and it’s black snake-skin cover that barely heald my cards and cash.. sigh..missing you. Trying to describe that while filing a police report was entirely too exhausting. A few things to report back [...] i was laying out in the sun today at retiro and a boy came up and asked me for money so he could eat. i told him sorry, i didn’t have any money but i gave him some snacks i had with me. five minutes later i look for my phone, it’s gone. i searched [...] |
