Wonderful Day

Today was a great Day!

My day started at 12am, I was at the club dancing like a mad man until 3am. Oddly, my friend ran into her teacher outside the club who subsequently facilitiated out entrance into the VIP line (what what!).

My day took a brief recess from 4am to 12am. Actually, My friend's mother woke me with a phone call at 10am and upon hearing my groggy voice told me to call her back later. However, when I called her back at 12:30 she demanded my immediate presence at restaurant that was not near my dorm. She told me the directions and instructed me to get in a taxi. I threw on my clothes, slapped on my shoes and ran out the dorm and into a taxi. I arrived at the restaurant to find my Mrs. Chang and her friend anxiously waiting my arrival. They then treated me to a delicious meal of crab, tofu, fish, green beans, tofu-skin wraps, chicken, etc... The meal was a sumptuous surprise.

Next stop was Eastern Taipei where we went to many traditional shops selling Chinese medicine, dried goods and a staggering amount of birds nests! I did not consume any. It was really interesting to see and hear people discussing the uses of Chinese medicine. We browsed and shopped until the sun was setting

Next we headed to a place where I partook of a delicious chicken and rice meal!! (with some veggies on the side). There was an adorable little girl in the restaurant who kept waving at me. And then, she called me 哥哥 (brother). Then, everyone in the restaurant decided to love me lol... I was moved beyond words.

I then walked from the restaurant to the subway and headed to central taipei. I walked out of the subway and a few minutes later hopped on the back of my Taiwanese friend's motorcylce and headed to Taipei 101. I went to the top and saw an amazing view of Taipei from 93 floors up！(Until last year Taipei 101 was the tallest building in the world). I also got to ride the world's fastest elevator.

I then walked down, hopped on the back of my friends motorcycle and headed home. Being driven in Taipei at night is indescribably fun!!

Today was awesome!!
