Taiwan Day 8: Teppan

Met up with my aunt for some teppan action. At this point, as you can tell, I was getting pretty guilty with food. Later this day I bought some new Nike running shoes that are compatible with the Nike+ thingy. I’ve only uploaded two runs so far but I plan on using it more often.

Taiwan Day 7: Family time means food too

Yes, lots and lots of food. At this point, I was feeling reeeeally heavy and fat. Every day, lunch and dinner, heavy stuff. If a little starving African kid went on the food tour I was on, he might have died by now.
This day my aunt on my dad’s side and her husband came over [...]

Taiwan Day 6: Food and 101

I went to the dermatologist this day. I have these little milia seeds in my skin that don’t seem to ever go away. After painful lasering carbon powder on my skin (think tiny explosions), my face was all red.
And then we walked to Taipei 101 building, yay! With my red splotchy face……yaaaay!
We went to eat [...]

Day 2 wasn’t much. We ended up going into the mountains again to eat at the same chicken restaurant with a different set of people because it was soooo good that we had to share this restaurant. We ended up ordering something new though. It’s kind of like hearts of palm, and you peel the [...]

Taiwan Day 0!

I love flying in planes. I’m a flying kind of girl. I’ve wanted to be an airflight attendant from the first time I flew on an airplane.
This time, I got to fly first class on EVA airlines. Wooooo.
Overall, the trip was pretty decadent. There were sooo many good movies to watch too! They had The [...]

I can see clearly now the rain has gone

I haven’t posted this, but I’m in Taiwan right now. Pictures will come soon. I’ve been just way busy with the food, family, and friends frenzy that always happens when I visit. (Alliteration!)
One of the things I came here for was to get laser eye surgery. My dad got it done a couple months ago [...]
