asian mullet

kind of noticed a hair trend here thats leaning towards mullets, speaking of which, i seem to be growing one also, lol! though they dont seem to horrible looking like the ones from the 80s and such. anyways, im gonna see how long i can let it grow before brenda flies over here and shaves my hair off herself. have a look...i dont think its too bad eh?

anyways, been pretty busy lately. work has been stressful since i have so much to do with little time and many tight deadlines:( but i won't bore you guys with details. thursday was cool cause i went to an aiesec event. it was cool cause they prepared this game where they had made presentations about places to go and visit here in taiwan. they also had all this awesome food for me to try too. oh and i had this one fruit ive never had before but it was so good, maybe next time i can take a pic of it n u might b able to tell me what it is, also had some traditional chinese tea in traditional chinese style:)

went shopping to ximending, the centre of the youth culture in taipei with so many cool things to buy and EAT! also checked out CKS memorial, which is a memorial built by taiwan's only dictator, it was really awesome so u can check out my pics to see it.

also had my first chinese lessons, man, we sounded so horrible, hahaha. it was me, two japanese guys and a south african girl, but it was still a lot of fun. hopefully next week, i wont b so tired n can learn how to pronounce my tones better, hahaha..

later guys....heading to bed, i have a tough week coming up, and also im moving into my new place so it should b awesome. oh yea, i forgot to mention, my parents are coming for christmas!!!!!! it was gonna b my first xmas alone but man, im glad they decided to come:)

clean!

ok so i realized that i haven't cleaned my room in like two weeks and that there was this weird smell coming from my garbage can. so i finally cleaned my whole apartment and it looks and smells GREAT! especially after everyone left this morning. after a crazy night at THE FACE we crashed at my place after having some dou jiang (soybean milk) and man tou jia dan (steamed bun with egg). let's just say there was a lot of ummmm...drama that happened with some of the interns but it was kinda funny, hahaha, its like being on my exchange in europe again, though this time i was not involved in anything, hahaha.

the weekend started off going to mos burger where i tried the famous japanese rice burger. which was awesome! though kinda hard to eat, i also tried the one from mcdonalds but this one was better. ok i normally dont eat mcd's but i had to try to the rice burger ok, kent dont shoot me, lol. on sat we headed to an amusement park for a company trip and it was crazy ass funny. my coworkers are hilarious and even though some of them dont speak english that well, we all understand dirty comedy, hahahaha. they never stop to amaze me. let's just say i will never look at bread the same ever again. here is a pic...


n today well, slept in and as i said before, cleaned. don't know if i said this before but i will be moving to a new apartment at the end of the month. it is much cheaper and bigger and nicer and i'll have some roomies, lol. so that should be fun. i'll get pics once i move it and maybe have a potluck. also i will be starting chinese lessons on nov 26th. so now i could hopefully explain to my neighbour what im doing here in taiwan, hahaha. the only bad thing is that the lessons are on sunday mornings. but in a way its good so that i dont spend my whole sundays sleeping and can enjoy all the wonderful things taipei has to offer. but yea, i'll try to update my pics so u guys can have a look. now i must go eat dinner and go work out....later.
