Utterly and Hopelessly....

Lost. Thats what i was today. I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5:45 and decided to take the 6:30 bus down the mountain instead of the 7:00 one like my host parents said. My older sister looked at me funny "You'll get there too early". Heh, i showed her. It started out well, i got to the station, got on the right train, got off at the right stop. But second i hit the sidewalk i was heaading the wrong way. I walked for a good half hour before i ended up coming to the next MRT stop in the line. In the wrong direction. So being the smart me i hopped back on, went back to the original station (guting, i ended up at chaing kaishek), walked the right way, got on the right bus, got off at the right stop, and then walked past my chinese school ._. luckily for me i spotted another rotary student and followed them in. I got there on time. Chinese school was interesting, took a test in a language i didnt understand. I failed. so bad. Afterwards i didnt have to go to school. So me, Julie (from Norway), and Elycia (from Florida) decided to do a bit of exploring! which pretty much is the kind way of saying getting off the MRT, getting lost, and then finding another station. But it was good fun all the same. After dropping them off at their stations i stood on the MRT from Shimpai to Xindian Distric office. Litterally stood. My legs kill. for those of you who dont understand, pull up a map of the Taiwan MRT lines. Shimpai is near the top of the red line. Xindian is near the end of the green. I never knew standing could hurt so much. Lesson of the day: Get a seat.
