3 months!

Can you believe that I've been away from home for 3 months?
I can hardly believe it.
I really believe that this was God's way of preparing me for Vancouver!
HOLLA!
I'm quite excited about Vancouver BTW - as if you didn't know that already - HA!

So it's been a week since I've posted - Taiwan had a "holiday" earlier this week.
It's called Tomb Sweeping Day(s).
These are days for the families to go and clean off the tombs of their ancestors and lay flowers, incense... etc.

So basically, I partied hardy from Saturday - Thursday. HAHAHA~!
Just kidding. I didn't party - I just had days off.

Last Friday, I was a "judge" for the singing competition at my practicum school.
FUNNY THING WAS .... I was paid for it. and got a free lunch. How delightful!
  

My aunt and I with "snow flower" ice cream and tofu fa.
LOVE THAT STUFF.

Domino's Pizza! All Asian flavours -
Kimchi, Seafood... I can't remember them all.
GOOD!

Donut.

Meals at the Night Market. You can have steak!!! (I had chicken, durr)
-free soup and red tea too!

AnPing Fort - I won 5 scoops of ice cream for 10NT aka 30cents. HOLLA!!!
One of my aunts on my dad's side. Do I look like the Huang family?

A dessert. I don't even know what it was. It reminded me of sashimi - which I don't eat.
It was sweet.

My family's business! Deep fried goodness and Taiwan Japanese Ice Cream.
It's just a name.


Prawn fishing!!

You cook them right after and eat them.
Poor prawns... so delicious....

Night Market - it was ridiculously busy that night.
I was breathing a TON of recycled air as in I was shorter than most people so ew - tall people air!!!
>0<


This was a pretty lazy post because I just put up pictures! TEEHEE!
Hope you enjoyed... I am back to school tomorrow and my last assignment is due on April 12.
WOOHOO!

Taiwan has been very wonderful to me so far... and I still need ideas on what I should do before I leave.
FRIENDS!!! Please feel free to make suggestions, mmk!

OOH I have something to share!
Yesterday at lunch, some 'gangsters' came in the little place where my aunt, cousin and I were eating.
I didn't really think these 'gangsters' existed anymore except in Chinese movies.
So 2 guys swaggered in after hollering at some people outside and sat down to order.
One guy at the table beside them looked at one of the 'gangsters' and this caused one of them to yell out "WHAT YOU LOOKIN' AT?!!!"
The guy left but then the 'gangster' thought about it and decided to chase after the guy who looked at him funny. The owner's wife had to calm the boy down because clearly, there was nothing to fight about and this was not good for business.

I put 'gangster' in quotations because my aunt and cousin told me these guys were at the very bottom of the 'gangster' pyramid. If real gangsters came, please. No need for talk - it's straight CHOPPING!

So that was pretty interesting.
Anyway - I will put more pictures of my trip to Chiayi tomorrow.
I'm heading out to Taichung this weekend too - YEEEUH!

I miss you all. For real.

    I think you should go try something new. Something that can't be done back in Canada. Something only you can do in Taiwan like... catch a chicken and kill it... hahha actually I really dont know what to do. Just do something unique.
