it's been a few days since i last posted. haven't felt the urge as other than work, i haven't been doing anything that interesting. the rain had been pouring for 3 days, and even going down the street to buy food results in very wet jeans and shoes.
i also realize that i'm getting comfortable here. i know the places where i like to go get breakfast or dinner, or even just a boba milk tea. i know how to order the boba milk tea and specify the amount of ice and sugar i'd like. they have different names for level, 12 levels on a 10 level scale. it's an art, almost like ordering steak-- bleu, rare, medium, etc. i know the bus routes, the metro stops, even the time it takes to go from one stop to another. with all the new technologies, e.g. gps enabled buses, wifi internet almost everywhere (mcdonalds, starbucks, etc), mobile phones, etc.-- taipei has become very convenient.
this weekend should be interesting. 2 milongas, one at the american banquet hall. a trip to taichung to meet with my parents. a trip to the mountains for bbq chicken, where you get to pick the specific (free range) chicken you want to eat and they kill it right there, de-feather it and prepare it for you to grill. however, i won't have access to internet until monday night. i wonder if either starbucks or mcdonalds have opened a franchise in the mountains :)
