So it turns out my aunt decided to buy some wireless whatevermajig it's called from a cellular phone service here which means I have internet which means I can still blog to my heart's content. You know now that I think about it, it doesn't really matter where you travel to because as long as you have internet your life will be relatively the same. Other than blogging and checking school mail I've been trying really hard not to be such an internet addict. Surprisingly enough that's not such a difficult a task given the fact that the food here is way too delicious. So instead of watching shows all of the time I'm eating all of the time. Hey, if you had the opportunity to eat a mango three times the size of those in America you would grasp that too. Monster mangoes.

After I finished that paragraph I got bitten by three mosquitoes. Welcome to Taiwan! On the plane the other day I got the very last aisle seat. It was kind of nice because there weren't people trying to crawl over me the whole trip. I sat next to a middle aged lady that only went to use the restroom if I happened to get up as well. I thought that was nice of her, so I got up more than I needed to in order for her to have the opportunity to use the restroom as well.

I can't believe I ate so much today. My grandma just kept telling me to eat and eat. It's very hard to refuse old people's desires. It's also very hard to work out here. Hopefully I'm losing double the calories. That way it can cancel out all of the calories that I happen to be consuming.

Freaking mosquitoes. I'm going to go rub lemon juice on myself. That'll show them-- but then knowing my luck a myriad of other bugs will fly towards me and try to eat me.

swat bugs & eat fish <3
