Day Fifteen.

I can't believe we've had two gorgeous days in a row; it's such a change from last weekend's rainstorms. It was the perfect day for a trip to the zoo with Amy--sunny, warm, and breezy. My cheeks are even a little red from the sun. We took the gondola as well, all the way to the top! After walking for a bit, we settled in at a tea house funded by the government to tell about Taiwan's most famous type of tea. I don't know about you, but I'm not one to pass up free tea--delicious. On bus on the way back to the MRT station, a lady squeezed in after me. She and I struck up a nice conversation on the long windy ride back down the mountain. I wished I would have asked her why she decided to come to Taiwan for only two days, but who am I to argue with an Australian?

Amy and I finally got a chance to go and set up my cell phone...but it still doesn't work. It seems I'm going to have to take Vy and Amy both with me next time so Vy can translate the Vietnamese on the phone, and Amy can tell the guy. This is such a mess. I need a phone!!

I apologize for the lack of good posts recently. Not much has happened,

or not much has happened that I want to tell the world in this wonderful blog. I'm doing my best to be completely honest with my thoughts and feelings through all of this, but one must admit that sometimes the feelings of a teenage female can be extremely irrelevant to a situation.

Tomorrow is a Taiwanese holiday called Peace Day. I have yet to learn what it's about, but when I do, I'll share my findings. I do know, however, that it's important enough to cancel all classes (not that that affects me at all). Regardless, let's celebrate.

Peace out, World.
