Some Things About Taiwan...
So, yeah, I did some labeling, and...diagraming? So that those who were NOT in Taiwan can better visualize some of the things I described. ^____^ I started with my Host families' homes... You'll understand soon about the whole....disaster...that was Heating's.
All the sqaures around the edge of Heating's apartment is CRAP and JUNK that was piled up. The two rectangles across from my corner were the computer desks. >..< See how that was a problem? *le sigh*
LURVED my second host family, though. ^________^ They were wonderful, and didn't make me pose for pictures in front of stupid fancy cars...
The MRT System! It's a lot bigger than it looks here, and the distances are a lot further. For example, if you cut across the white empty space from Linguang to Taipei City Hall station, it takes about two hours on foot? If I remember right... If you take the MRT, however, it takes about fifteen minutes. ^______^ Just ask some of my friends (who shall remain nameless). I'm sure THEY remember... *evil grin*
It's all cold and snowy here, and -- though pretty -- I really REALLY dislike it on principle. We had this wonderful thaw last week, and now it's all come back with a vengeance. *sad*
That said, my New Year's Resolution is to do more outside activities this year...I'm waiting till the weather is nicer, though, 'cause I want to kayak, mostly. ^____^ I didn't get to go out even ONCE last year! That's just not cool. So, yeah...
Nick, did you start looking into colleges out west for me? lol. Surprisingly, my mom didn't object when I mentioned the possibility to her. *grins*
