That's hot

Today was another day... of amazing shopping that is. Well before I talk about today let me finish talking about yesterday. Yesterday I decided to make sushi for my grandma. I tried to make it while she was sleeping, but like me, she's a light sleeper so she woke up when I was slicing the carrots. My grandma likes to take charge when in the kitchen; meaning she doesn't allow people to cook for her, so she came in and tried to advise me in how to make sushi. Wonderful. Watermelon incident again? I frustrated me again and refused to watch t.v., but she also made more rice, added ingredients, and told me to finish rolling all of them. We made an agreement. If I finish making all of the sushi and use up all of the ingredients she had to leave me alone in the kitchen and stop bothering me. I started preparing the sushi at 9:00am. I finished prepping at 10:30am. Then I rolled sushi until 1:00pm, stopped, studied for MCAT's, fell asleep out of exhaustion, started rolling sushi again a 3:00pm and stopped rolling sushi at 4:00pm. In all I made 41 rolls of sushi. This was enough to feed an army. My grandma had plans of her own and she sent the housekeeper out around town sending sushi to all of her friends as she called them saying "My granddaughter made these!!" Of the 41 rolls of sushi she sent out 40 of them. Sigh. All my hard work sent out to all my grandma's friends (wth she has too many friends, I need to be more like her).

Well I was done for the day, so I thought I would relax and drink some water when someone came to the door. The pastor's wife had come by with her two daughters to say thanks for the sushi. She said that it was really good, but I told her it was no big deal. She said that they all enjoyed it, so she bought me three cakes (no, not full size) from a bakery that she thinks is better than 85 degree C (is that possible?). I thought that was really nice of her and it made me happy. Cakes for sushi? Heck yes. Then her older daughter (around 8 I think) shyly tapped my arm and without speaking held out a bracelet signifying that she wanted me to have it. She made it herself. I was pretty impressed. I know I don't usually like kids, but the ones that don't speak or speak minimally are surprisingly cute. The bracelet is pretty pro though. I'll take a picture eventually and post it up. Anyway, the rest of the night was kind of like that as well, people came by to say thanks and whatnot. Taiwanese communities are so... hmm what's the word? Heart-warming I guess. It's kind of a nice change from the whole American I don't care about you, you don't care about me, let's go on living our lives like we've never seen each other. I think I would feel more comfortable asking for directions here, people are more willing to help.

That was yesterday. Today I went on a shopping extravaganza. It was excellent. I bought so much that I have to get another suitcase. My aunt is thrilled. Psych. I told her that she would live with me when she's old and wrinkly, so she said bah fine.

Oh my gosh. Hello Baby is so funny. I watched an episode in Chinese subs on t.v. here. SNSD is ridiculous, they're more like a comedy group. Now I have to add Jessica to my favorites list.

I'm exhausted and sticky. Time to get naked. :)
