Nothing too exciting. Just an update. Couple things I need to type up on this here blog.
Anyways, a couple days ago(Wednesday Nov. 21 late evening) I arrived in Taiwan! So I've been here for three months... Take that people who didn't think I would survive that long. ::does the in your face dance:: Anyways, been here three months, and I am enjoying probably 85% of the time. Why not 110% of the time? Well just some stupid stuff due to communication problems with my host family. I tried my best to mend the relationship with them, but it's just not happening. I leave on Saturday at 14:00(2pm), so only a little bit longer. Not delving into the details on this hahahaha. Anyways, it's been an awesome three months here in Formosa. I am glad to have met all the people that I know here, and am very thankful for the new friends that I have met from around the world. One day I will visit them all xD. Anyways, next topic, the switch.
Ok, so I switch in approximately 6 days 12 hours and 10 minutes. (There's a countdown app > _>;)... Yeah, so when I switch, I will try another blog update where it doesn't take two bloody days to upload a video that is a couple minutes long. Not doing that again. I will try to get a new webcam for my vlogs. I have thought of something else too, I can use my headset I look like a gamer in(gaming headsets for the win) and put pictures in the video, or just deal with the terrible camera quality and have the headset on. I will ponder on the decisions. I also will try another camera video, since I like that idea. This is all hoping I will have internet at the house, I'm pretty sure I do, hopefully. Anyways, I will start living in Tamsui next week. My house is a 30 minutes walk from the MRT(Metro/Mass Rail Transit) system. I hope I will have a bike... Tamsui is a lovely place and I can't wait to live there. My second host family is amazing too! Overall, I'm excited for moving. Next thing, what I've been up to...
I have a bad habit of writing like I'm writing an essay for English hahahaha. I've been quite busy the last few weeks. I've been practicing a dance for Rotary for the Coming of Age Ceremony. I'm not sure if I am supposed to keep on doing the first dance I learn, or I will just stick to this weapon routine I'm doing with a group of 14 others. Sudden realization, that I'm the only guy in the weapons group. REPRESENT THE MEN. Anyways, it's really fun, the routine is easy, and the first routine/dance is with a spear :D! The next one(there were other weapons, so I'm just assuming) is with one handed axes. It looks like we will be holding two at a time. I hope so anyway. This routine/dance is going to be really fun :D. I am looking forward to how it will turn out.
I went to the middle of Taiwan last weekend, to the Taichung area. It was really fun, I was mainly there for Rotary and I didn't have too much time to myself until the night where I just looked around the night market near my hotel. We visited a town where some famous person named "Dragon" in my club used to live, and we donated $45,000 NTD which is roughly 1,500 USD to his elementary school. It was a rather rainy weekend too, and I didn't like the rain too much. I brought my canvas shoes, and well, they got muddy, and soaked through, and I had to do a terrible job cleaning them xD. They are still a bit dirty. It adds character. We also visited a flower garden and I found that freaking amazing. There were quite a few cool looking displays. I enjoyed it ^_^. I'm going to a convention tomorrow(secret till I upload the pictures) so you'll just have to look for my picture update. Mwahahahahahaa. I really haven't been around too much, I'm going to Tainan(near the south) on Monday via High Speed Rail, so I will be taking pictures left and right. I'm really excited about that. Oh, another place I went to in the next paragraph.
About two weeks ago, I went to a pottery place. It was in the Yingge township, which is 30 minutes by train... Also, that was my first train ride of my life. A legitimate train ride, not the one at bloody Disney Land. We made some pots, and they should be at our school around Dec. 3-7. We looked around and stuff, and yeah. Were going to Taipei 101 FINALLY, with my culture class this week too! It only took me three months to go! I will bring Kalevi(my version of flat stanley), and flat stanley for my friend's little sister. World's fastest elevator here I come :D. I will take a video, with the chemical brothers playing of course. Pretty sure I will go with them. I'm pretty excited about this. Anyways. Yeah.
Time to wrap this up. I've been drinking coconut milk/water/whatever you want to call it, like no tomorrow. Same with pearl milk tea. That stuff is delicious. I'm also starting to learn parkour now. I suck at it, but I'm learning the basics, and yeah. Should be a fun hobby I'll stick to. CRAP. I forgot to talk about Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving, was decent I guess. I went with my Culture class to Xinbeitou and we went in the hotsprings. It was full body, but it was public, so we wore swimming suits(thank Buddha!). After that, we came back to my home station, and we saw this pie salesman, and we bought pie. One bloke(Michael) bought a whole pie, with a bunch(8) different flavours. We went back to my house and had milk and pie. It was amazing. After that we just lounged around. After dinner I met up with my cousin(she's an exchange student too, distantly related) and our friend and I got an Adventskalendar. I am excited about that hahaha. Anyways, that was Thanksgiving.
There you go. I am POSITIVE I haven't forgotten about anything. There will be a relatively short update next week, just about my house, and a few pictures to upload on the books of my room all messy when unpacking. Anyways yar. Updates next week too.
More to come.
