Trip to Taiwan Day 5 - 8

Merry Christmas America! I can officially say I have been sick on Christmas now. It happened on Christmas eve, my family and I went out to the night market in Tainan (the is the southern part of Taiwan, the opposite place from where we live) to eat food. 2 hours later, we came to the hotel to sleep. During the night, my little brother kept complaining about a stomach ache, while I just felt like puking. That morning, my little brother got dressed, and was about to talk to my parents when BLAM. He puked. The funny thing is that my little brother puked right after I told him I felt like puking. After I got my parents, I puked. Whoooo, it was a puke fest. The rest of the day consisted of sleeping on the car and not trying to puke. We did end up cutting our trip in our trip short to go back home to Taibei. Enough about being sick, what did we do beforehand? Well we visited this mountain called Ali Mountain, where the maidens are the prettiest and the young men are the strongest.  Oddly enough, we actually did not see any of the locals because it has now become a tourist destination. The mountain itself was beautiful,  from the thousand year old trees to the clouds floating beneath your feet, the mountain was awesome. Before that, was just traveling around and seeing sights. We did go to the fisherman's wharf here, the funny thing is that we came on  the day off... we ate at some of the local shops, and man. The do have the best oyster dishes there. Fresh and juicy,  I could not ask for more. All in all, that's what has happened. Well, God bless you, and I hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe Christmas. Till next time. :)

Trip to Taiwan Day 1- 4

Let me be honest, I've always thought blogs were stupid, yet here I am describing my trip toTaiwan. I have been procrastinating writing every single thing that has happened because I was.... lazy. Well, so here is going to be a quick summary of what happened during my first 3 days on my trip to Taiwan.  Okay,  first day was virtually only traveling to Taiwan, on a plane for over 12 hours can be kinda tiring, however what is truely amazingis the technology increase from the last time I was in a plane. 2 years ago, on my trip to Mongolia, the planes had those big screens made for like 100+ people to watch one designated movie at a time. Usually they are boring as BALLS, but what was truely awesome this time was the TVs!  Each seat had like an individual touch screen TV on the back,  and the plane gave like a netflix movie choice. I ended up watching literally 7 movies. Oh my gosh, this must be Gods gift. Second day, I was virtually dead, tired from fresking jetlag, I thought I beat it but I was wrong. We endex up riding Taiwans amazing underground rail system all over Taipei. We visitied book stores, saw Taipei 101, tons of parks and just experiencing that city life. Oh yeah, we also rented a cello for me and my little brother to practice because of freaking competitions in January. Day three on our trip consisted of just bus riding and eating at a nightmarket. Day 4 was just visiting places like the Chiang Kai- Shek memorial hall and eating at another night market.  Oh yeah, did I mention that most of the time through these four days I have been reading? I ended up finishing Crime and Punishment and started The Sound and the Fury. Let me tell you, C+P was a brutally , messed up book,  and Sound and Fury makes absolutely no sense...but yeah, I also go to like visit Taiwan Costco. Dude,  that place is a legit black Friday sale all day everyday. Its crazy there. Besides that,  I have really just been chilling at home reading. Don't hate on me right now for no pictures, but the computers want to like reformat my card? Whateves, I'll get pictures up on my blog someday...

Heyya, First Blog Post

Okay I admit, I have been somewhat procrastinating on writing on my blog; I do have a good excuse though! Visiting a beautiful country and visiting the sites and eating the native food can be slightly... distracting.  Before I tell you about my trip, I
will describe the nature of my blog.  This blog shall be the blog about ME! Yes, that may sound somewhat narcissistic, but its kinda hard to keep tabs on other people... anyways, this blog will contain pictures of what I experience in my life, updates on what crazy adventures I go on and... rants about life, society and America! I hope you will stay with me on this adventure cuz it gonna be cray.
