Busy week!

Hoyaa!
It's been a busy week!
I'm posting mostly pictures because I have to go to sleeep soon!

I don't remember what day it was but we ate this Taiwanese fruit. It's called 'the fruit king'. I have no idea what it really is and the taste was umm interesting : D

On tuesday  we went to some kind of comic exhibition? I don't know how to call it. There were Osamu Tezuka's works like Astroboy and Black Jack. In the same place was Egypt exhibition where we also visited but taking photos was not allowed. We saw a mummy!

The museum was in this white building.

After that we went to seee grandmother and my host familys dog Anata. He was so small and cute!

On thursday we and my mama's sister and her kids went to see this traditional chinese river show. Everything is written in chinese so I don't know the real name of the show.

There were these long chinese paintings about people and life near river.

And the main point was that there were also an animated version of it.

It was really long! At least two times this long. I tried to take a video but my camera didn't want to : D

My room! It's big and I love the bed!

This is what I see when I look out of the window.

On thursday evening we went to the airport to welcome Tore to Taiwan. (the other exchange student in my club) And I met Cindy's family! :)

My little sister loves my camera and likes to take pictures and I tought that this was cute. Me and mama!

On friday we went to my school! The photo was taken in a hurry so I relly didn't check the flag and so it's wrongly haha!

On friday I went also cycling with Tore and his host father's cram school classes?(or something like that) It was too hot and I almost got lost but everything was good in the end! After that I went to night market with Tore, his host brother and his friend. We tasted different foods and almost everything was good haha : D

And finally the weekend and the Rotary trip! We went o Yilan. On the way there we visited a bee museum?

And got to taste fresh honey.

Whisky distillery. Haha my father would have liked! : D

This is Taiwanese candy. It's only sugar and it was funny to watch how the man just ummm I don't know the right word. Stretched it?

We slept in a hotel and today when we left we visited in Lanyang museum. It was about Yilan's aboriginals, nature and culture.

That's all! I met a lot of new people during the trip and yes I'm still so shy. WHY? I don't want to be shy.

The school was supposed to start on tuesday but now it's not sure because of the TYPHOON! Haha it's funny how loud the wind can be!

Good night!

First days in Taiwan

Helloo!

Right now it's my third day in Taiwan. I'm alone at home so I have time to finish this post! The first two days have been amazing! I'm in love with Taiwan and taiwanese people.

My flight from Helsinki to Hong Kong was an hour late and I sat alone haha! I was afraid I'd have to sit beside someone annoying but I got to sit alone which was awesome. The fligths were okayy and I wasn't even so tired when we arrived to Taiwan. On the airport there was lot of people waiting for us. It wasn't difficult to find my own host family and rotarians. I don't have those photos so maybe I add them later.

I was really hungry so we went to eat sushi with my two meimei's and papa. I've never before eaten sushi in a place where the plates go around and you have to pick what you want to eat from the line. Then we waited for three brazilian students to come.

We went to eat seafood! It was good and interesting I guess haha. I tasted almost everything! : D

I'm the only one not looking to camera haha. And yees I'm so much taller than others it's awkward haha.

We drove home and yes Taiwan is so different from Finland. It feels bad to say but I think Taiwan is somehow much dirtier? And there is a lot of homeless dogs. But the mountains are so beautiful! On the evening we went to eat in Subway and we took MRT. And yes I went to sleep at 9pm : D I'm going to write about my home later when I have photos of it!

The next day I woke up at 5am because it's just so hot seriously haha. In Finland it's 15degrees and here it's over 30! The breakfast was nice. Taiwanese bread and soup. And of course milk : D After there was some guests here we went to sanxia to see my school! It's huge.

Taipei 101. We didn't go up because it was little cloudy and rainy.

We drove to Taipei Zoo and took Maokong Gondola up to the mountain. It was so beautiful!

We ate stinky tofu and something else but I don't remember the name.
And Pearl Milk Tea!

Tea. It's better than in Finland haha! Papa teached how to make tea in the right way.

Then we ate some noodles and rice and when we left down with the gondola it was already dark so we saw the perfect nightview of Taipei. So much lights. We drove home and because we didn't eat already enough papa went to get something from McDonalds while mama visited market.

And one thing that I don't like so much is traffic. It's crazy haha. There's scooters everywhere and it's just chaotic : D

I think that school starts next week and on the weekend we have a rotary trip!

Byebye!
