One Month

Well today marks the end of the first month ive been here. This past month has been soooo amazing .-. im really glad to be here. I've been to so many amazing places (Danshui, Xinbeitou, Gongguan, just taiwan in general) had so many amazing foods (55 cm tall soft serve, Ji Pai, Beef Noodle, and many many more!) and met incredible people (I cant list how many.) This month has been a little tough though, mostly from my language handicap. I havent really missed much (except i have an extreme craving of orange juice for some odd reason) so im not really homesick. Keeping myself busy has really helped a lot. Today i woke up at 6:30 (on a sunday, yes) to go play volleyball with Soma (the hungarian) and his classmates. I about fell asleep on the court :P. Afterwards i wandered around ximen for a while without any plans and found some more exchange students! i ran into Kat (a girl from germany in my district) and John (real name Johannes) from germany in district 5200, and Connie (real name conrad) from hungary and also in 5200. Spent the rest of the day with them until i went to have dinner with my host grandfather (which was soooo tasty. never knew pig liver could taste good!) Saw a polaroid camera today, and got super excited cuz they arent in america anymore. i want one .-. . celebrating an exchange students birthday tomorrow (Allie the Aussie :D) gonna be awesome. Lesson of the day: always eat it. even if its liver.
