The Lord giveth a new camera today, and I hold my hands open like a beggar, drooling from the sides of my uncontrollable grin. I took pictures of nonsense today, and the camera made it genius! (Click on the photos to see the quality!) Example: My ability to take a picture of shoes and half [...] I’m sitting in the Administration Hall in a garden in the center of the building, that is completely open like a villa with a bunch of tangerine and gold colored fish in a fountain swimming under the balcony I am perched on. It looks like a celestial body of shooting stars and comets shooting around [...] Those days. Blah. Today I took my Chinese placement exam, and discovered that I would have to start praying. All of the instructions that were announced were given by a woman who spoke not a word, number, or alphabetical letter of english. So, that being said, even if I knew the answers of the writing or [...] Here are a few photos from last night at Shilin Night Market, where we ate chicken butt, green tea vegetable sherbert topped with black beans, tapioca bubble tea, large squid, oyster omelet, and fried keelung tempura, along with Taipei classic fried chicken, and candy baby apples! I highly recommend this spot over all other night [...] Tonight in brief: I ate chicken butt and learned Taiwanese curse words from my Taiwanese buddy and her boyfriend. What a day.

There was blood. No one was running to her. She was moving (barely), but the police decided [...] Went to cheng-chi da xue (cheng chi university) yesterday. Absolutely beautiful campus, laying on the outer part of Taipei City, and surrounded by small mountain terrains. I live far away, and have it in my mind that I’ll have to find a living situation much closer. There are few pics, but from a couple of [...] Some photos of first impressions. Danshui, Qizhang, Taipei 101, me on the 91st floor, etc. I’ve had a week of nothing but daily Taipei excursions, buying a phone, and paying for weird things i didn’t realize i forgot… like a shower scrubber. |
