Wow, I never realized how much of a slacker I am till I looked at this blog.
10 blogs in 69 days?!
I have barely written anything.
Ok. I have to start writing err day otherwise my memories are going to gone when I come back to CANADA!
Alright - so, I miss driving.
OH GUESS WHAT!?
After my cousin's driving lesson - which is in this empty lot where there are lines everywhere and beeps if you go over them by accident and really old, beat-up cars that you practise with - he took me to a street that was quite empty.
PS. This was in Tainan county - my sister's home. HAHAHA
County means the less developed area of Tainan .. there's more fields aka rice paddies and whatnot.
Then I got on the scooter and he gave me some pointers like ... give it a little gas then when you feel that your balance is steady, put both feet on the scooter and ride away! Oh and when you brake, brake with the left first then the right - otherwise, your scooter will flip forwards.
So I went off.. gassed a little and caught my balance - I WAS OFF!!!!!
I don't have a picture or video... because my cousin and I were too surprised and terrified that I was successful. HAHAHA!
I might try again tomorrow... I will make a video then *hopefully!
But that feeling was amazing! The wind felt so nice ... because it was a super hot day too!
OK. Now it's picture time!

My cousin is learning to drive the "S" curve while I'm taking a picture.
Check out the sun roof thing at the top that prevents the car from getting too hot. There's also a little fan behind the backseat in case it gets too hot. These cars are SO OLD. hahaaa

Remember when I wrote about that fermented fruit drink I had to have to help my mosquito bites go down? Well, here it is! See the top? It has so much fermentation that the top has risen up. grrross.
This sign is a LIE - Pedestrians have Right of Way.
Riiiiiiight.
We ate at Kentucky Fried Chicken~ They have egg tarts. These are more delicious than the ones in Chinatown. YUMMMMM.
One of the English classes I sit in ...
That day when I left the school, I found a coconut split in 2.
Reasons? You tell me. >0<
This is Eric - he is blind and has spinal muscular atrophy.
He was a student at my practicum school - he has a Bachelor in Linguistics & Literature with a English major and Japanese minor.
He can operate a computer without looking at it because it reads everything out to him - it's crazy how fast he works on that thing!
He makes verbal books for blind people as his job now.
This is where I'm going tonight - my cousins' university.
I will be watching him BREAK IT DOWN!!!
aka hip hop, pop and lock and breaking!
I'll put pictures up and a snippet of my cousin dancing tomorrow!
HOLLA!
