Taichung! Not thailand stoopid.

HEY HEY its not jessie, its uuhhhlliiissa so you might ready my fobby-ness.

So day 3 and we woke up to get ready for our adventure to Taichung. Jessie and I took a bullet train, superfast ride only 30 minutes. Right as we taxied from the train station to Jessie's friend CLAIRE's aparment and got out we immediatly felt the difference in temperature. SUPERR HOTT. The only thing is.. we gave the taxi driver the address to her place and instead of dropping us off at her house, he left us at some university. Long story short we mad friends with this boy named JACKIE and helped Claire find where we were.
She finally found us, but they way we had to get to her place was through a SCOOTER!!!!!!! OOHH EEMMM GGG!! We were freaking out! The three of us had to fit on ONE scooter. Ummmm not gonna happen. So... Jackie offered to drive one of us. And lucky girl was me! oh soo scary, but it was actually fun.

After we got settled in her place, we meet up with ANNIE, and got taiwanese "shaved iced" yummie. You choose your toppings like, apple jelly, pinapple jelly cut into the shape of stars, boba, red bean etc. Once we were done we went over on a quest to find jessie some lime juice. We found it! But through difficult translation, the lady vendor wouldn't sell the juice to us without water cause she thought it was weird and didn't know how to price it. Hmm... Off to the grocery store we go I guess. Finally some lime!

The four of us scootered over to the department store and walked around the mall. (Jessie knew this was bound to happen cause people walk around malls cause its so freakin hot!) We played in an arcade. Basketball, a punching strength game and won tickets. We attempted to redeem our prize but we didn't have enough to get a little pen. We had 27 tickets n you needed 30 so we tried giving it to one little boy and the mom didn't want it. So we walked over to these two teenage boys, but when I handed it to him he started speaking CLEAR ENGLISH, jessie and I were AMAZED and thought it was bizzare. After we looked at over priced clothes from the US and europe and went to the best BOBA place in the city. It was really good. Boba and milk tea.

The "night market" opens at 2 pm so we walked over and saw a plethora of AMAZING clothes, jewelry, toys, and fooooood. The new trend over her is BOWS. Cute boys for your hair. OH and when people ride their scooters they wear masks because of pollution. Girls wear supper cute ones with designs and patterns and at the night market we found tons of masks! We had to buy one!

For lunch we ate squidballs and dim sum (Pictures will be up, no worries) and drank yummmie watermelon juice. Jessie ate some pineapple, but didn't like it very much. Said that it was "too warm, maybe old or something" haha.

Weiird! We saw these two european metrosexual boys in TAIPEI the other day and then we saw them at the night market in Taichung! Jessie started to freak out laughing. It was pretty weird.

So we scooter back to claires apt, while Jessie napped. As for I went over to Claire's new apartment to chill and watch taiwanese television. (I guess sponge bob is super popular here) I met Claires male friend, he didn't have an american name so I gave him one. We went through a list of names and he liked the name RYAN, but I'm not sure he can even pronounce it properly. In the time jessie was a sleep, CLAIRE was showing me here blog. He backround image was "Blake lively and leighton meister", so I casually said, jessie and I went to high school with Blake. Annie and Claire, I kid you not, started to SCREAM, because their favorite show is Gossip Girl. We left Ryan's apartment and stopped by another night market on the way home.

Bbq chicken butt was one of my favorite foods at thhe night market, alongside the fried quail egg on a stick!! We played games. One game was a ring toss, you throw the ring into a vast amount of lined up goodies, toys, drinks, bobbel heads, etc. And whatever you got you get to keep. I saw bunnies!! and a hedgehog, a white one! I was tired at this point and wanted to join Jessie at SLEEEPIINNG! So I said "goodnight world zZzzZZzz"
