Had a great day today! Had to get up early to study for my quiz, but it ended up going well and am learning a lot. We get excited when we overhear a conversation and understand one or two words:) today our bio lecture was all in Chinese, so I couldn't get much out of it. For lunch we went to a bakery and had super good bread stuffed with pork onions and corn (even tho it sounds weird), and yummy chocolate cake. After class Melanie and I went and explored campus which was cool. There's a trail that goes by the river that runs through campus and we walked through it and took pictures of everything. (hopefully I'll be able to post some soon if I can get on a real computer). On our walk we found an altar up on a hill which was really cool since I've learned about them in my religion classes. During ghost month, they burn food and paper money at the altars for the ghosts that come up from the underworld for the whole month. My meal for supper tonight was my favorite I've had so far. I had fried chicken breast, green beans, cabbage, and rice. It reminded me of Ippa :)
This weekend we're taking a trip to the east coast of Taiwan, which I'm really excited for! We get to go to a national park, and river rafting. We leave early Friday morning, and get back Sunday night, should be fun!
