So yesterday was a pretty chill day. I didn't do much during the day. Went food shopping at a place called "Wellcome"....don't know why they need the extra "l"... but it's not really my problem. I was pretty happy with the place. I found that I can get produce and meat there, and it's walking distance. I'm still trying to figure out where everything is so that when school starts, I'll be all set.

Then after I had dinner, my cousin and I went to Shilin Night Market. It is the biggest night market in Taipei. There were a lot of "interesting" things there. Definitely a lot of strange foods. I took a picture of one of the street vendor's cart. Mmmmm....ok not really...hahaha! I didn't try any of these foods. It was just fun to look at. The one thing I will for sure try...eventually, is stinky tofu. It's suppose to smell puttrid, but taste good. Not quite sure how that'll turn out...I'll let you know. I spent most of my time at the "claw" game place. I don't know the correct term for these games, so from now on, it will be known as the claw game! Anyways, I played a few and and mostly lost, but i did win twice! I won a mini Super Mario Red Mushroom key chain thingy and a hello kitty bag. I knew what I was getting into with the mushroom...but the bag was the result of picking a box with a prize written on a piece of paper inside of the box. My cousin and I wanted to win a talking stuffed parrot...but no such luck. But you just wait! By the end of the year we'll have that parrot! Hehehe.

Well, that was yesterday...Today I went to the Taipei Zoo. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was. I probably only saw about a third of it. I did of course, made sure that I saw the insectarium! I was quite pleased with it. There were a lot of butterflies. In fact there were just as many cool "wild" butterflies outdoors as there were indoors. I didn't really get to take to many pictures...i forgot to charge my battery...lame... But I did get a few nice ones. So I guess I'll have to go back and finish the rest of the zoo. And I need to pick a nice warm day so all the bugs will come out and play.

Well that about covers these last two days. I have just the weekend left to play. School starts Monday. I'll find out when my classes are tomorrow...then my mini vacation is over. Then hopefully I can talk to people without feeling like a dummy! Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you at home!
