Terrible Twos

Today's sightings came in pairs.

2 ladies with blood red circles all over their backs from acupressure! sooo nasty
2 grasshoppers in an underground walkway
2 cockroaches run circles around a pothole :(

Lol ok so those aren't exactly the highlights of the day.

My gran took us to Jiu-Feng which is really far up north past Taoyuan Airport. We took a train and then a bus all the way to an old town on a mountain top overlooking the sea. Twas beautiful! I bought one of those clay recorders. It was a pink chick. Almost like a rubber duckie haha. We took another bus to Keelung and shopped around. Then we rode the train back home again. Riding the train is so cheap here. It's like 2 US dollars to ride an hour. Whereas back in LA a one hour ride would be at least $15 depending on where we're trying to go. But then it's prolly because the majority of people here take public transportation here they can afford to charge less.

Our last stop before walking back to my grandma's place was this little chocolate dessert shop called Is Taiwan Is Chocolate. Lol the name is lame, but the food is good. Yay rhyme! It was so exciting! The shop is tiny yet cozy. Reminds me of Miss Honey's cottage from Matilda. Tis my dream!

Eww...so there's this draining noise from the room I'm sitting in. It's for praying and is also the computer room. There should be no reason for a draining noise to be here...ugh. Please. Stop.

Ok I'm rather creeped out, I think I shall return to my room now!
