Taiwan!!!

So life has been super busy (once again) and internet access has been kind of spotty, but here's my writeup of my trip to Taiwan!

(I'm just gonna consolidate it all into one post....)

Untitled
Met up with Mike at the hostel...got lost trying to get there and broke into the most disgusting full body sweat ever (actually last year's was worse) and probably freaked out everyone in the hostel with my red and huffing self... But we went out later to the night market by NTU (where he did his summer program) to get food!

Then we went back to the hostel, which was full of foreign travelers (mostly students).

a typhoon hit the day we were moving out, so I protected my suitcase...

We took the high speed rail to Zuoying (and then to Kenting). It was cartoon network themed!

Hengchun room

We wandered around that night, looking for things to do (but it's Hengchun so there's nothing). We won a SUPER CUTE beluga whale out of the vending machine and then walked into a cockroach nest that was...not cute.

Breakfast in Kenting

Because of the typhoon, we couldn't go to any of the beaches and Kenting is pretty slow during the day time...so we hung out in Mcdonalds with all the rest of the young people.
