About MeI need more work
I didn't get as far with my taiwanese as I thought. spent time with other relatives today. kind of makes it difficult to communicate, they have no idea how much taiwanese I know, so they say a lot of words that I'm not familiar with. it's kind of good that I'm being exposed to more words, but no translation doesn't help.
I got dragged out of bed at 6ish to take pictures again. this time we biked. not bad, except I'm used to a light workout and then eating a clif bar. so after 20 min, I felt really weak. I got a few pictures in, but as with the other day, lots of haze, so it limits the distance that I can shoot.
I went to see my second uncle, last anyone told me, he's in a coma. if there's a poster child for anti drinking & driving, it's him. watching him with an IV, feeding tube, monitors, respirator, cathoder, it's sad since he looked so sickly. I was surprised when I saw him open his eyes! but my mom told me, just because they open their eyes, doesn't mean they understand. but, he responded with a smile when my mom said, "jiayo"
afterwards we went to eat at a japanese restaurant. presentation is definately up there!! took pictures of the food! an uncle was in the neighborhood we were in, and stopped by. he hijacked me from my mom and took me around. the day was very cloudy, and there wasn't much to look at, lots of farmland. taking pictures was a huge struggle! I did manage to get some shots in that were interesting. we stopped by a small restaurant and ate fried mini shrimp, seafood pancake, and something else fried.
I was passed onto another relative. for a few min until my mom arrived. dinner at a restaurant that took pink a little bit too seriously. after dinner, we headed back home, so within a 6 hr period. I had 3 meals... before we made it home we needed to use my luck to play the lotto. we won $200NT but we spent $300NT exchange rate is 30:1 so UR looking at spending $10 USD and winning $6
there's something that I've been thinking about today. it's a line from chuck. "You didn't go far enough, Chuck! Sarah is special. I know it. You know it. If you love her, if she's the one, then you don't stop. You don't quit. You never go too far." granted it's about love, but I'm finding that I'm using that "do whatever it takes" metality already. I feel like that with fobii right now. especially since it's been a long time since I've had a chance to see her.
I wish I had wifi on my ipod. I feel weird not txting my crush. it's weirder that I've known her for only 2 weeks before I went to taiwan. despite that my monthly txt allowence took a HUGE hit. when I do find wifi, she's the first and last person I txt. actually I don't have anyone else stored in my pod. I should start to import others.
