好甜。

I went to Taipei 101 today! I'm uploading the photos to facebook as we speak.. or as I write. I dunno. It was really fun! :D My feet hurt so bad, afterwards a couple of friends and I went shopping, saw Resident Evil and then went on a quest for a night market, which we eventually found. :]

Goodness, this girl from my school is like stalking me and it's getting really annoying. She just has a creepy :) face and is always talking at me. D; The only reason she's doing it is because I'm a foreigner, and she makes it so obvious I wanna slap her. x]

Yesterday at school we had class debate (I think that's what it was) time to just discuss what we'd do as a class, and my teacher wanted me to tell everybody how I felt about school and blah blah. She said I could do it in English because it's the English major class but I wanted to do it in Chinese but I realized there was no way I could. xD I didn't learn how to say I feel very overwhelmed by all you crazy Asians and the staring and the pictures. I don't think they understood even half of it but they got that I'm happy and that I think they're very sweet. I was really happy in class that day for some reason. Hm, it was just a good day. :) They're planning a birthday party for me next week (it's on Friday) which is insanely sweet.. A bit overboard, but sweet. ^^;

Then afterwards I met up with some other exchange students at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall and we just had to choose the hottest place in the park near it to stay at. D; It was fun, though.

Then today was the Taipei 101! I swear, I went to the top of Taipei 101, saw Resident Evil, and did some shopping at a night market and I didn't spend much more than 1000 NT, which is like 30 bucks. Awesomeness. At Taipei 101 we went like crazy over the samples in the mall area but we walked a lot today so I think it evens out.. At least I hope so. x] I'll be careful tomorrow. I'm really worried but excited for the Moon Festival. The moon cakes that they make are like 3 inches in diameter and some of them pack about 1000 calories. Eep.

Yup, that's how I remembered 9/11. I'm so patriotic... x] Okay, well, my feet hurt like crazy and I'm coated in sweat so I'm gonna take a shower! I swear, I have never sweat droplets without doing anything until I got here. It's like my face is crying.. Okay, that's a bit gross. It's not that bad, but it's bad. Heehe, zai gen! (That's taiwanese, not Mandarin. Oooh, freaked you out there didn't I? You were probably like, whaaaa? It's zai jian, Isabel. But no, I'm right and you're wrong. It's Taiwanese so it's different. o.O)

  1. Isabel, how far up did you go in Taipei 101? When I was there it was only open for the first 30 or so floors. Love Dad.

  3. I think you need comfortable shoes, sweetie! What kind of shoes do you wear for school? Can you find good shoes there that work with your feet? Let me know if you need me to mail you something.
    LOVE AND KISSES,
    Mom

  4. I just bought new shoes today! Two pairs for around five US dollars. One pair is really comfy the other is just pretty so I'm good on shoes. I was just walking so much my feet got soar!

    Dad, I went up as high as they allow you to! The Elevator is like the fastest in the world and your ears pop the whole way up.

  6. I love the imagery that your face was crying. Or maybe your hair was leaking. I just blogged about sweaty grossness myself.
    I had to look up what the Taipei 101 was, but when the Wikipedia image popped up, I realized I'd seen a show about the significance of the architectural design. So, now I feel smarter.
    Glad you're having fun.

  7. It's too hot to wear the docs right now and I can't wear them to school anyways. Once winter comes it will be raining more and I can use them.

    My imagery is just splendiferous.
