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

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

taiwan update

hey guys. sorry for the delay in posting. with classes and everything here in taiwan, things have been getting a bit busy.

right now is 7:45pm here and it's raining cats and dogs. yet it is still hot and humid as heck...

i also was able to meet up with some locals here in taiwan and get a drink with them (which was a large beer. delicious).

so far things are pretty good here. the weather just kinda sucks.

later,

mike

taiwan update

hey guys. so i started my first class for my refresher course before i start my class at the university here. if you want more info on the class i'm starting in september here's a link.

so some facts about taiwan so far (according to me):

-everyone and their mom drives a scooter here
-the drivers here are all freaking crazy!
-public transportation is so much easier here
-as long as you're in taipei, you can see taipei 101 ANYWHERE!

so that's it for now. will try to update as much as i can. stay tuned!
