Can you imagine how hard it is to start a blog post. Uh. Or make up titles. Gah.
Last week our school had exams on wed-fri so we exchange students didn't have anything to do. Sometimes it feels extremely frustrating when we just have to sit in the library doing nothing. We're not allowed to go out during class time and especially while exams so we seriously couldn't do anything. But luckily on wednesday teachers of our school had planned a lunch and invited us to come with them.
This is the place where we ate. They used things from their own garden to make food and drinks. The food was reaally good. And we drank juice made of aloe vera. We also got a little tour to the garden and the guide told stuff about the plants there.. of course in chinese.
Yaay it's aloe vera.
We also did something interesting. No it's not tea It's aloe vera balm/lotion thingy. It smelled really good and it turned red after a while. It's used for umm mustelmiin, hyttysen puremiin, arpiin ja mahakipuun. I'm going to send it to Finland for my mom's bday!
Then fiiiu we jump to saturday. After taichi I met with two of my classmates and went to eat spagetti! Delicious! Haha! After lunch we went back to MRT station to get some ice cream and yes I can say that jos mun pitais valita ben&jerrysin ja ton valilla valitsisin ton!! Apple pie icecream was so yummyyy ♥ ( I had it again today! :D )
After that I had to go home to get ready for wedding! Taiwanese wedding is soo different from finnish. They didn't say "I do". We only ate and left. But it was nice experience. Even though the food was seafood. Unfortunately I'm not so big fan of that. But I was happy to have a chance to dress up nicely and wear high heels! :D
Looks yummy huh?
Diiu then sunday. Sunday was amazing, thank you guys! Haha. So Gillian came from Daxi and we met Nash, David and Andy at MRT and continued to Danshui. There after making some decisions we rented bikes and went biking. Obviously :D
It was pretty windy!
It's kinda funny that I don't have any photos where you could tell that we were actually biking cos there's no bikes in any of the photos :D Anyway, our last stop was beach! We arrived just in time to see amazing sunset.
Not blurry at all!
And the thing that made the day even better was that we ate PIZZA.
Monday 10/10 was Taiwans 100th birthday!台灣!
Gilliand and I met with Tore and few of his classmates and went to Miramar. It's a huge shopping mall where is movie theater and a ferris wheel.
We went to the ferris wheel and see a movie Real Steel in a IMAX theater. The screen was huuge! And we sat on the second row haha. My neck was still hurting two days after that :D
This weeks wednesday my class had a trip to Sanxia old street. And on friday I got my monthly money yaay. On the Rotary meeting they had tiny bday celebration for Tore and the cake was gooood!
After school Mr. Liu took me, Gillian and Aoi to Sanxia so we could take a bus home. We got distracted by bubble tea on our way to the bus stop. But that's nothing new for us right? We took bus to my home and spent two hours getting ready for a night market trip. We met with Nash and walked to Nanya night market which is pretty close to my home. And what does night market mean? SHOPPING. But I only bought cover for my phone.
Aoi and Gillian slept over at my home and this morning they came to taichi with me. After taichi we went to get some ice cream and to Ximending. Shoppingshopping! I didn't buy anything else than umbrella. AND FOOD :D Always eating haha!
babai!
