VIP, hiking and potatoes..........!?!
man, i think i better slow down on the nightlife scene here in taipei or else it's gonna kill me, though it is AMAZING! we went to this place called WAX! and it was awesome. one of my co-workers invited me cause it was his friend's bday. another all you can drink place and we got a vip booth. music was all hip-hop and they played a lot of good oldies, hahaha. tons of stuff on our table including rounds of tequila (which the bday girl took to much of and had to be sent home:(, lol! she was really cool though) anyways it was an awesome night, and i finished it off with a spicy chicken burger from 7-11, which was EXCELLENT (way better food that our 7-11's, lol)
the next day we were only supposed to go out for a couple of drinks on a patio but ended up at this wig party with other foreigners. but the best part was eating at this after hours food market around 3am. man, was it ever good. we had some dumplings and chinese pancakes (i think?) with omeletes and rice cake, oh i don't remember the rest but way better than a pizza (cause i was craving one, hahaha)
sunday was quite good too except the early morning rise. marta and i (another intern) headed to one of the Aiesec newie seminars on one of the mountains. it was beautiful with fresh mountain air (not like our mountain air which is much better) but still better than city air. i did my canada presentation and gave out some pens:) then we had a session called "challenge your world view" but my group never discussed our topic because we were too busy talking about other things. they were really curious about my life and stuff so thats what we mostly talked about, lol. later, we hiked down the mountain which was so sweet! it was such a nice cool day with lots of sun so it felt good to excersize again (though my legs were shaking from all those stairs, hahaha i need to start running again:) so we finished our hike at another night market (shilin, which is the biggest) and we had some kabob, which again, was awesome, lol....when i got home i passed out at 7pm, hahaha
but i've said enough for now and will try to keep it shorter for next time....later!
whoops! forgot to mention the potatoes, well today i finally had one!!! they have no potatoes here and i really really wanted one. i found a potatoe place and had one with cheese and mushrooms, not as good as back home but it did the trick! next i want to find a place with MASHED potatoes, (am i spelling potatoes right?)

Haha...ya, the spelling is right.
Was I a day late with that Canada presentation?
The food sounds so ridiculously good that I want to go back there and eat my way out.
Hopefully this means more pics for the food blog.
Hey I met your friend Ryan! actually he is staying in my flat for a few days during his whirlwind tour of Asia. I guess you really made an impression on him... he was so happy to have someone who would join him at the "all you can drink bar"! I totally agree with you guys... only in Southeast Asia would such a thing work.
all you can drink? i hope i'm not going to the wrong country!
