taiwan update (about freaking time!)

hey guys. yes this post has been long in the making, so sorry it took so long... T_T

this post will also take a few days as i have a lot of photos i wanna put up (i told you this was pretty big)

anyways here are some pictures of my neighborhood in taiwan:

the park near my apartment building (you can see taipei 101 in the background)


some cool lights i saw

lots of scooters here in taiwan...

like i said

a lot of 7-11's here (food is a lot better in here than in the states)

a favorite store of mine. you can get anything and i mean ANYTHING here

another 7-11, on the same street...

taipei 101!

typical day on mrt (taipei's metro). can't complain though, one train comes every 5 minutes

OMG MISTER DONUT!!!!

love this place!

the strawberry bear i bought. it had cream in it. delicious!

some things i can't do at a park i jog at... hmmm...


more to come in the coming days!

enjoy,

mike

  1. Hi Mike, good post!! Hope you are feeling a lot better by now. This is the kind of post I think you need to do a lot more of. If this is going to be Adventure Blvd, you'd better post some adventurous things! LOL These photos are good. What kind of place is that red place the scooters are parked in front of in the first scooter pic? A restaurant? Is the food good? How expensive (in American) is the food at 7-11's and do you get Taiwanese food or American food?
    Lastly I love item 17 in the list of things you can't do in the park -- "Gambling or other behavior that does harm to public morals." ROFL

    Interesting place you're living! I wanna know LOTS more! :)

    Your friend,
    Hugs,

  2. Mike? Hee hee -- do you know the answers to all my wild questions up above? How are you doing? Made any new friends yet? (that's hard sometimes) Are you getting along well with your grandparents? Hope so :)

  3. hi katie! thanks for reading i really appreciate! i will definitely post more adventurous things though i think being in another country is already adventurous enough!

    unfortunately my laptop crapped out on me so i'm in the process of getting a new one. i will definitely answer your questions once i have my own laptop (i'm using my neighbor's so can't be on for long)

    have to go do homework now. keep reading (i really appreciate!)

  4. Hi Mike,
    Sorry to hear about your laptop. Bad timing for it to croak, isn't it?!
    It is very adventurous just to have moved to another country but nobody knows how it's different but you, and you have to tell us or we'll never know!
    Hope all is well.
    Kathy
