Well, as the title suggests, it has something to do with rain. I think I've been in so much rain that I've had five years of Idaho's rain in a week. I know it's typhoon season in Taiwan right now, and holy cow, when it rains, it's going to rain like no tomorrow. The rain is pretty unpredictable too, kind of like the weather back home. It can be sunny one minute, and the next it's raining cats and dogs. I think I can hear the barks and meows right now. There's some thunder too.
Well, I guess I should update, since I had a few things going on this past week. Some rotary, and mostly hanging out with friends. Anyways, onto the update.
Last saturday, we had Rotary D3520 orientation for all the inbounds.I thought I was going to be bored the whole day, but it was pretty fun, I met some awesome people, and just talked with them. I got more pins on my blazer too, which is pretty nice. I also have some other stuff I need to pin on it too, but no pins. So after orientation, I was going to go to a night market, but my host family made plans for me already, so we went to Ximen. I had quite a bit of fun there, I was part of a "magic" act, and had some udon noodles, plus some Taiwanese ice cream. It's prepared differently, it comes in like a wrap, with peanut shavings, and some green leaf thing. It was quite delicious.
Sunday I went to Keelung and saw the beach, and reminded me of my home town. I kind of just had time to think and relax while I was there, I enjoyed it. It was like I didn't have much care for the stuff around me when I was there hahahaha. Anyways, I went to a mineshaft and had to duck the entire time, and I saw an old Japanese house. Other things too, like site seeing stuff.
Tuesday I went to the Taipei zoo with a few inbounds, and just had some fun with them. I had the most calories I've ever eaten in one meal here, because it was ice cream and whaffles. I haven't had that in a long time, so it was good.
Wednesday I went to a Lego exhibition and my first night market with a girl who went to Idaho two years ago, and one of her friends. I had fun at the exhibition, and took a picture of all the sculptures. So I'll probably post pictures of them sometime later, same with all my other pictures n' stuff.
That's pretty much my time in Taiwan so far, I have a Rotary presentation tomorrow, and I'm going to Taipei Main Station for lunch on Sunday. It should be really fun.
Note: Adding some pictures n' stuff today, and a couple of new pages.
