Taiwan =)
so Taiwan for the holidays? Somewhat.
not an entirely pleasant trip, but i found it enjoyable.
i dont know why. but though i've lived in this country for almost a decade.
everything seemed so new ♥
It began with the 13 hour plane ride. The food was flat out sordid.
Just the smell of the chicken noodle (or was it?) and omelets made me plane sick. Instant noodles in the middle of the night (6pm…) was the only thing keeping me sane. it was also the most turbulent plane ride I’ve ever been in. but I had fun bouncing while doing those fantabulous bio packets.
So overall, it was bearable. On the bright side, there were exterior cameras on the plane that allowed us phenomenal views during landing & Taipei Airport is so much more sophisticated than LAX. if you look carefully, you'd see two persons from our school. far left.
same plane ride to taiwan. wayyy too cool.
so here's my trip.
so first off.
why arent there smart cars in the states? 卡哇一!
they're soo cute =) this one's dented, but if you've seen the way people in taiwan drive.
you wouldnt be surprised.
street scene =) looks better in real life.
蛋餅! (沒大驚小怪... 但是是踏入台北吃到的第一口美食?)
the best baked goods in the world.
omg. (thats annie btw)
so immediately, we noticed a temperature difference.
apparently, annie and i get curious stares from bypassers when we eat ice cream cones while they wear eskimo jackets.
oh pulease. we were running around in shorts while my dad has 4 layers on.
little clause! here's daddy and i =)
what did i tell you? mcD's made from rice & shrimp.
cant they get more creative here?
