Day 4 Report
Well, today is my first day of actual work! I got up around 8:30, took a shower and then ate some breakfast. Steve came and picked me up and we headed down to the office. Once there I got setup in an office with a window, woo hoo :) I spent most of the day working, obviously.... and I wont bore you with that. :P
For lunch we walked down the street to a little dumpling place. The dumplings were good, but they made my breath smell HORRIBLE like FIRE. I also had some hot and sour soup, which they eventually told me that the little brown bits were coagulated pig blood. Thanks for the heads up, fuckers. :P The actual soup itself was not very good, but particularly the pigs blood didn't really have a strong taste.
For supper we went out to eat at a different dumpling place. Unfortunately, my stomach has been feeling worse and worse throughout the day. After breakfast I felt bad for a while, but it passed. Then after lunch it got bad and didn't really feel much better. I ate a little bit of food, just to taste things, and had some beer. The dumplings at this place were good, but not stellar. Certainly not as good as the first dumpling place at 6am. :D
According to Steve, most people get a little bit sick after a few days in Taiwan due to the differences in drinking water and the different flu's and whatnot that are floating around. I should be feeling better tomorrow. :) Lets hope!
ALSO! Since I didn't really mention on here, Emily and I are officially dating / boyfriend/girlfriend whatever you want to call it. :) Basically that means no Taiwanese hookers, but I'm totally fine with that. I'm sure Shiny Ass is disappointed, but she'll survive. ;)
Ok... I'm off to bed to hopefully allow my stomach to feel better.
