Today

So its 9am on Friday here in Taipei, and I am wide awake. My computer is still set to USA time, and seeing as its 5pm in California, I obviously wouldn't be tired. Yesterday I went to register at my school. Only saw a few hotties. I have been to almost every huge mall, and its only been 3 days. HAHA.


I got bitten by the hugest mosquito ever, and the bites are huge as well. I guess I have more of those to look forward to. The weather is hot and humid and the sky is grey from all the pollution (yuck). I found out they have to burn a large portion of the garbage on this island because it is tiny and there is no room for landfills.

*Fashion update: Everyone, and I literally mean EVERYONE has a name-brand purse. Be it fake or real (mostly real), it is crucial for all women and men alike to tote cute little Louis or Gucci bags. I feel sort of stupid for leaving my D&G and Gucci purses at home. (oh well, gotta bring some originality to the place). I think it is just because I am in the city, but I swear I have seen such gross displays of wealth, I sorta feel like I'm in LA. For instance: I saw a woman wearing black ankle length jeans with huge bleach spots all over, carrying an ugly ass baby pink Gucci purse, holding her celly-cell in a red quilted Chanel case, and grey Ferragamo pumps. Her outfit was a mess, but since she had all these random name brand items, she could carry herself with "pride".
Moccasin boots are pretty popular here, though I've only really seen ankle length ones. I wore my knee-highs and people were staring. I get stared at a lot. I've found the best way to deal is to give a huge smile. Smiles are universal, you know.



Love always.
