here's my week

in an attempt to motivate myself to write more i am doing a thing where i write in my blog every day of the week but save the entire post as a draft until sunday and publish it. that way if the day is boring i dont have to write much. but por ejemplo monday was awesome. todays already practically wednesday but here goes

sunday the 17th: went home for dinner with the family. afterwards i went to shida night market and saw peggy chang who i havent seen for two years. she's the first friend i made when i came to taiwan to do loveboat, that month long camp where we travelled around taiwan and did boring stuff. it was great to see her and catch up. she's really the only friend i have left from there that i still miss and talk to. with everyone else im pretty sure if i saw them it'd be small talk for a few hours and we'd both leave the hangout feeling awkward and relieved to have gotten that over with. peggy and i always talk about stuff and she's hilarious and i've missed her.

monday the 18th: went with lachlan to wulai. it is a mountain rainforest villagey area where a bunch of aboriginals in taiwan live. we thought it was going to rain.. and rain it did. only a 40 minute scooter ride out of taipei if the traffic is on your side (which is wasnt) wulai is a totally awesome day vacay. we got wine and noodles and went down a beaten path to see where it took us. chilled by the riverside and made up our own songs because we had no speakers. eventually it started pouring. on the way back we found the waterfall that we had passed by earlier but had a lot of people at. but the rain scared them off, it was deserted. we climbed around the top of the waterfall and that is when i decided i wanted to go swimming, so we did! it was fun and awesome we had our own private waterfall lagoon and the water wasnt even that cold. went back to the city, got japanese curry and watched breaking bad, a drama about a cancer patient meth cooker. its pretty good. theeen we hit the mahjong tiles for a few rounds and i came home and stayed up until the sun came up which is something i've been doing a lot unfortunately. at least i wont have jetlag in seattle!

tuesday the 19th: didn't do much today except for go to lunch with lachlan, read cosmo in shida park and then came back and did laundry. i put the laundry in the dryer for two rounds today instead of one like usual and my clothes came out COMP LETELY DRY. sad that this was the highlight of my day.. but it was. and i attempted to watch harry potter 7 part one but it was so laggy and pixelly i just ended up getting annoyed. jamie and i are going to the beach... in 5 hours hah

wednesday: didn't end up going to the beach

thursday: went to the beach, got really rosy on my cheeks. got a new swim suit, its blue. started raining so rebecca and i went swimming naturally.

friday/saturday/sunday: didnt do anything worth documenting. went home to visit the family and spent the night at a friends on saturday night.
