Well Here We GO!!!!!!
Well Journal I hope you are ready for this one. I have not written in awhile but I think htis will explain most all. I am finally moving out of the Taipei Hostel. Thank the lord because I was not sure how much more if the hostel I could take. I enjoy the people there, most of them are really cool. Although living there hiding behind a brownish curtain in a dorm bed sleeping at night on a bed covered in only a sheet, covering a piece of foam covered by plastic has grown thin. So I have found an apartment with three other people. I am living in an apartment with my friend Brian, another Brian from Ohio, and a guy named Stuart from London. The place is unreal, we move in Saturday. It costs about $300 U.S. a month but it is the best place I have ever lived in so far in this short life o mine. It has four bedroom, two living room area's, wood floors, a huge fish tank, fully furnished japense style, two bathrooms, a washer dryer, dishwasher. THe area around it is right in downtown Taipei, my work is a little farther away now but I really could care less. I also recently saw the most disgusting thing in my life. I was walking in the dorm room to drop off my bag and that is where I witnessed the vile digust. Thereis this lady who stays there she is about 60-65 years old, and is covered in scabies, at least it looks like it. SOmehow this gross, hagard thinks that is is bedbugs but these bedbugs would have to be the size of lions. So anyway I was walking out of the dorm and her bed is my eye level as a result of my height. AS I walk past I notiice this aged slut has no clothes on as she is sleeping. As soon as I notice this I run out of the dorm and out to the halway window. I put my head out the window because I thought for sure I would loose thos dumplings that I had for lunch. AS I calmed myself down I walked to hthe living room area. I sat down art the counter and everyonr thouhgt I saw a ghost. As I told them they all laughed but I was the one with the scorched eyes. THis past weekend I me and a few of my friends went out for a night on the town. I showed them some cool places to go because they had no Idea where to go. At the second bar we went to as I was walking in I heard this girl speaking spanish. So I gave a rhetort. Thank you Ms. Quieros. SO I began to talk with her and she was from Bolivia but she was taiwanese. She was born here in taiwan but here family left when she was two to move to Bolivia. She speaks spanish, she know a fair amount of Mandarin, Chinese, and she knows english. Well I wen with her down to the bar to get our free drink as a result of the pricy entrance fee. We got our drinks and we talked for a little bit, actually in all three languages. Then she went off to dance and I thought nothing of it just a kind, sweet experience. All of a sudden a bit later she came up to me a dragged me to the dance floor. There was some salsa, and Merangue playing which I tried my best at, (Sorry Ralph). Well on ething led to another and before I know it I am in the cab to her place, felling like Taxi cab confessions. We go to here place, the rest of the details I will leave up to the reader. The next day I have to work at 9:00am to pass out fliers for work. SOI get up early and get in a cab to go home. As soon as I walk in the hostel this one guy, my friend from manchester pulls down his newspaper, only to call me a "dirty stay out". So this girl is really cool, she plays guitar, and likes Pink FLoyd, she has about 6 tattoos in nicely placed areas. SO life is going well so far here. A funny story happend at work the other day. I was starting the moring class and then all of a sudden the Teaching Director busted int he door. She told me to come with her as soon as possible so I got the children in a straight line to leave and she said, "Forget the children, I want you". So at this point I though mayeb I might be gettting a raise, or quite possibly someting else. I follow her and she opens a door to the basement. Now my mind is totally in the gutter at this point. She say's, "Stay down there the police and the department of education are here". She shoves me down the stairs and shuts the door. SO I sat down in the basement with all the paint cans and dirty rags. I wished longingly for a gigarettes but I was away from my bag. I swear I felt this is how Anne Frank must have felt. I ended up waiting there for about Fourty minutes. Then she came to get me. She informed me that tehy have not applied for there liscense yet and since I did not have my Alien Resident Certification, which I get in three days they would recieve a hefty fine if the authorities saw me teaching class. At this point I though tanotu leaving the school. After school she had me practice with the key to the back door, so in case it happens again I can get away quick. This lady had the gaul to ask me if I wanted her to time me. I replied with a quick angst "NO". So everythign is as surreal as possible here, nothing cut and dry, everything gray, hjust the way I like it. So tootle Live journal
