您好！

That is Chinese for hello, thanks Google Translate. I hear the last video post didn't work? Too. Bad. Just kidding I will fix it later.

Let me see, things are as hot as ever over in the Asia. I haven't started anything to do my job so I get to spend my days exploring, eating new foods, and whatever the Asia I want. A normal day consists of 1. waking up at a fairly decent hour ( I can't help this, I would like to sleep in but I think this is my punishment for having no other jet lag) 2. Reading a little 3. First shower of the day 4. Meet Matt for lunch 4. Explore a little more 5. second shower 6. Explore or eat a little 7. Dinner with Matt

Here is a list of things I have discovered about Asia...
1. No one says bless you after you sneeze
2. Older people don't smile back/at you on the streets
3. No road rules here. People drive/bike on their own terms
4. Men and women aren't friends with each other unless one is gay or they are dating
5.

I am really looking forward to getting settled into my apartment and job.

I went to Taipai on Saturday with Matt and some of his friends, it was a blast-o-rama.

1. had my first Asian quesadilla which was delicious. Not as good as mine, but it's okay Asia.
2. We took the train to Taipei and the conductor was so nice! He stopped and talked to us for a bit and wrote me a love not on my ticket welcoming me to Asia and such. Asian boyfriend number 1.
3. We proceeded to the skate park, but not before stopping in a 7-11 for some beer. There are no open container laws here so cheers to that!
4. Watched Matt's friends skate for a bit and then proceeded to his freind's Anre's house for a rest up then out to a pub.
5. We went to this place called on tap to watch the soccer game and meet some friends.
5.5 Had the most amazing gravy fries there.
6. Stayed until the end of the game around 5 am. Decided to get a hotel and just sleep there since we had Taipai business in the afternoon it didn't make sense to go back to Matt's apt.
7. Went to a bakery for some grub. I got a suprisingly horrible concotion that looked and tasted like it had fur on it. Won't make that mistake again.
8. Matt is getting a tattoo here from this AMAZING artist so we went to her house so he could pay the deposit. I was looking at her sketches and it is going to look so good. She is amazing.
9. FOr lunch/ dinner we went to a pita pit-ish place which was delicious.
10. Came home and passed out at like 9 pm. solid.


I know these entries are kinda lame-o and not so detailed/coherent, but I am all scatter brained all the time and that's what you people get for now.
