I Love Taiwan

Know why?


....Cuz I got my nails did for 500 NT$= around 17 U.S. Dollaz


Unfortunately the picture does not do my nails justice. They are helllllllllllllla sparkly with jewely jewls.

...and I got my hair washed aka a 20 minute head massage and Blow dry/straightening for 200 NT$= around 7.50 U.S. Dollaz

My aunt keeps talking shit to me about how much I love being prettified. It is starting to get irritating. I try to be as low maint as possible, and all she loves talking about is how I have hella clothes and shoes and how I need to lose weight (CHINESE PEOPLE, I SWEAR)... Good thing I was actively working on my positivity for a few months before I came here. I wont let the "Chinese way" get me down. At the end of the day, I have to remember it is all out of love.

A few things:
1. If you live in an apartment, you cannot flush ANY products besides waste down the toilets. This includes used toilet paper, tampons, etc. I feel like thats sorta unsanitary........

2. You can bring your own alcohol to 2nd rate restaurants (neighborhood spots, anything besides nice-ass places). Last night I went to dinner with my aunt and her high school friends, and a few of them brought bottles of whiskey and plum wine (which coincidently is DISGUSTING). It was fun to get drunk with some loud, happy, drunk Asians.

3. My cousin brought his girlfriend of 4 years over today and I swear I absolutley CANNOT picture them getting freaky or doing dirty things. This sounds suuuper perverted because its my cousin but we all know how I am. haha. She's just so dainty and cute and nice and innocent seeming...I better stop here because I was about to write something really outta pocket. :)

4. Tomorrow I think I'm going to buy these Dior sunglasses i've had my eye on for a long time. For some reason they are less-expensive here, so WHY NOT?! Early b*day present to myself!

5. I have found the spot where I am getting all my *favorites* their gifts. Be juiced cuz this store is amazing! I wont give away anymore details.

6. I have made a new friend. His name is Jett. Jett as in Jet Lee (haha, I swear thats what he said to me). He is my aunts friends son. He seems chill, speaks English really well, as well as some spanish (its his major....WHAT?!) and he likes to go out. Since my dork-o cousin doesnt do shit, it'll be nice to go out with someone else my age. I was planning on going out myself. (I'm trying to be adventurous).



I still havent gotten a hold of a camera, but i'll have one by Monday for sure.

Love always.
