I forgot to tell you all about this delicious shaved mango ice cream. Notice that the mango is fresh, they would never serve it frozen. Loved it. We ate this in the Food Court close to the Shilin Night Market!
I have been holding off on writing this next entry for a little bit now. Mostly because I have not done anything extremely exciting- I blame the weather!
For example, this morning I had made great plans to go to Yangmingshan National Park. Only to wake up to crazy thunderstorms... I decided I would be brave and go anyway, but I would check the hourly weather. Epic-fail. It is going to rain from now 9am until 11pm. My next step was to look up activities I can do in a rainy day- no luck there either!
As of right now I am still deciding whether I should just go to Taipei in the rain, and visit the Miniature Museum and grab some lunch then head back to my dorm ...or not!
Let's go back to what has happened in this last week. I have been very fortunate to have met two wonderful friends that live in the International Student Dorm. Ruth and Maria-Liz, they are el-Salvadorian and Paraguayan respectively. Who would have thought that I would be speaking Spanish in Taiwan?? That's right..me neither! Do you know what this means? I have friends to watch the World Cup games. I am thoroughly excited about that!
Maria-Liz took me out to dinner earlier this week. We went to a Thai restaurant, boy am I a fan of Thai food. I am not sure if I had ever tried it but all I know if I love it! I will be going back there more often, maybe even tonight.
This is what was left of my dinner. Sorry I forgot to take the picture before I ate it! Ops..Next time!
One more food picture! This week I have been eating "lunch boxes" at work for one reason or another, mostly they there are events I seem to be eating them. Of course I am not complaining, I really enjoy them. Yesterday I was offered a choice of what kind of lunch box I wanted, I chose the friend chicken... well I got what I asked for!!!!See if for yourself.
You cannot see from the picture, the chicken is on the left and my lunch box is awesome, admit it! Notice that my juice is the size of a child's juice box in America. This is an observation and not a complaint.
Keep reading!!!
