We finished both our work in the lab and our Chinese class this week. Tuesday after class a few of us went to Shilin night market which is one of the biggest ones in Taipei. There were tons of stores, carnival games, and food stands. The fruit stands are so good! They also have stands that sell stuff called stinky tofu which I couldn't ever try because it smells too bad to even be close to it.
Wednesday night after class some of us took the MRT to a bookstore that's open 24 hours that lots of the students go to to study. We had coffee in the cafe and studied all night for our final. Everyone looked at us when they walked by, I don't think they were expecting to see us studying Chinese. We also had to each prepare a presentation to give in front of the neuroscience department.
This morning they threw us a farewell party in the neuroscience department and we all gave our presentations which discussed what we did in lab and also on our free time. We got to see lots of pictures everyone else had taken. Then we got to have pizza hut pizza which was so good!
Then this afternoon we took our final. It was part oral and part written. So we had to be able to answer questions in Chinese and also write characters. It was really difficult!
I'm sad that my time here is almost done. Were still planning on taking a few last trips this weekend, and Sunday the grad students in my lab are going to take me somewhere, which I'm excited for!
