Yes, I'm starting to feel almost at home here in Taipei. I've got a room-mate now, his name is Fantien. We live above a restaurant on the second floor near my school. I start school in about a week. I went on a study today with a brother who studies with a guy who studies 5 times a week and goes to meeting. The guy, the study, Leonard, took me out to dinner afterwards and made me eat two of his pot stickers, I had already eaten 20, plus some beef soup. I ate about 3 times as much as I would normally think that I could. I probably didn't have to, but I did, and what's done is done. The dinner was very very good, they really know how to make Asian food here. Then Leonard ran off to the meeting, I hope he wasn't too late. After that, I bought a cheap phone to plug into my Vonage box, and a power strip to plug everything in, then I walked home. After that I walked the streets for at least an hour in search of sheets and blankets. It turns out that there is a sheet/blanket store across the street from me, and a block down, but it's kind of small and I don't like the selection. So my plan is to go to Ikea and get what I want. If I get too much junk I'll have to take a Taxi back. I'm not sure if I'll be able to direct him right to my alley, my Lane, Lane 55. I'll have to take another picture of the Lane sign to show the Taxi driver.
I've been trying to upload some pictures to live.com, but it doesn't want to. (edit 273) Permalink
