Places

 There is this really good burger place off the blue line. We saw a lot of people who don't speak Chinese there. I got the OG burger. I really liked it. The burger place had a pretty cool sticker wall. Also, they had mouthwash in the bathroom. We went to another yummy burger place. It was Burger King. 

I watched Dai eat steak at this restaurant. It was a fancy place that we went to for our friend's birthday. I really liked the salad there. That's the one thing I miss, good salad.

The Rohan Night market off the Song Shan MRT stop is a good place to get food. I think there is even a booth that has a Michelin Star. I warn you though, it gets busy. I tried this dessert that is a jelly with red ben on the inside. Kinda slimy but good.

There is this restaurant by our house that makes really yummy noodle soup. They also have good veggies. We didn't actually order the good veggies, the lady accidentally gave them to us. My favorite part of the place is that they have a rice cooker as their sink.

In Tamsui we got tall ice cream. Mango ice cream to be exact. I thought it was too sweet. But it was cool because you don't get that in the States. Tamsui has a lot of other fun things but that's for another blog post.

Taipei-Phillipines

Two countries so close, but different in so many ways. From the Spanish-sounding words of Tagalog to the crisp-yet-elegant tones of Mandarin. In the country made up of thousands of islands, the smell of fish sauce wafts through the air. Only a two-hour plane ride flight away, stinky tofu overpowers everything else.  When looking at the neon signs that fill the streets of Taipei, you might notice the spelling… Sometimes Tamsui might be Dansui. In Manila, all you see is the English alphabet, as it is used in Tagalog. Going to Filipino malls, you’ll hear a good amount of English. In The Philippines, malls aren’t places to break the bank but to hang out with friends. In Taipei however, coffee shops are a more popular place to hang out, filled with Chinese chatter with little to no English. English is Taiwan’s Achilles heel, they don’t use it often. People here will try to use English, and we always had Google Translate.  In the city of boba tea, education is as essential as food. ...

My first step in the Philippines

 Another 6 weeks of school went by, so last week we went to the Philippines. We flew into Manila from Taipei. the hotel we stayed at was the Sofitel. It was pretty nice. There were a lot of Christmas decorations. When you drive into the hotel there are people who will check under cars for bombs, and dogs who will smell for them. It was pretty crazy, the security. The Sofitel had a pool, so Dai and I went swimming while my parents met up with my Tito Nelson.  The next day we flew to Coron. The airport in Coron is teeny-tiny. After we landed, we drove to a boat that took us to the houseboats that we would be staying in for the next three days. The Paolyn houseboats were amazing. There was a big deck that we could jump off, or flip off. There was a table outside to eat breakfast and dinner. We ended up playing cards on the table. Also,  on the deck, there were chairs for sunbathing, but we used them to look at the many, many stars. At night the sky is beautiful, there are so...

Japan is very cold, especially at night. We would know, we got hungry and there wasn't any food in the house. We walked to a mall in freezing weather because the other place we wanted to go to turned out to be closed. We got Raman and were the loudest ones. We had to learn a lot about Japanese etiquette. It's kinda funny, in Taipei we would run into 7-11 for AC not heating.  Ban. K is one subway stop and a bus ride from our apartment.  Ban. K is the mountain that we're going to be skiing at this season. It's small, smaller than Squaw. Since I've been skiing, which is 20ish days, I've only gone one lift out of four. Ban. K has a very good lunch selection. There is Raman, Udon, curry, and even churros, which are my favorite. Much better than the 20-dollar chicken nuggets Squaw has.  Team Bankie is the team me and Dai are joining for the year. Unlike OV Free they specialize in moguls. There are some couches from the Japanese national team, and athletes too. Buildin...
