Field Trip

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in so long... I have been a busy beeeeeeeeee. So Friday was the Chinese Language Center's field trip to an Aboriginal Village/Amusement Park. This place was really really awesome and beautiful! We were up in the mountains and it was so lush and green! When we first got there we just walked around and took some pictures in the front area which was awesome.

Next, we went to go ride some rides and they were some pretty intersting ones if I may say so myself. The funnest one was like the Rocket at Lagoon except way taller and it came down a lot faster... it was really fun! There was also a roller coaster which we didn't know was extremely wild and we convinced one of our Indonesian friends who had never been on a rollercoaster before to go on it. I don't think she liked it haha and at the end of the ride the front cars seats (which was 4 people including me and her) wouldn't open hee hee so we were stuck for like 5 min which she didn't like :P :P Next we just walked around and did some awesome stuff like ride more rides and look around at the villages and the scenery (pictures at the top). After like 5 or 6 hours everyone took gondolas to Sun Moon Lake. The view was amazing and everyone needs to go there because it was beautiful and you need to see it for yourself! We all just walked around the shore area and also walked around the market area which was fun as usual. After that we took a bus back to Taichung and then a group of us met up with our friend that is leaving Taiwan for America :( We ate at an American restaurant and it was fun stuff. After that we went back to our hotel and after a week of planning finally pulled off a surprise party for one of our classmates from Utah. Someone pretended they had a seizure and lid on the ground and we woke him up and freaked him out for like 5 minutes and then sang Happy Birthday (my teachers idea haha) So that was an amazing day and I wish that all of you could have seen it with your own eyes. The next morning we caught a High Speed Train to Kaohsiung (South Taiwan) and we looked around the area. First, we went on a Duck Boat to the Love River and then we went to an Art Museum where they were having a Chinese Character Exhibition and it was really awesome! After that we got some famous Sticky Rice which was really good and sticky >_< After we went to a temple and all prayed what our future wives and husbands wanted to be.... seeing as I don't want to get married I did not join in on that part :P Brooke Parrish is my homegirl! After that we got some famous shaved ice which was pretty fanastic (the fruit here is amazing!) We also went around to different department stores which were expensive haha but cool to see because they are popular. We then went to go eat at a buffet where I got some steak and all you can eat salad bar and then desserts. It was yummy. After we went to the Love River which was even more beautiful at night and walked around. We then went back to the hotel and me and this other kid slept for like 6 hours and then woke up at 5:30 to go wait in line for Lady GaGa tickets. The weather was great and not too hot and after a while of not understanding what was happening since everything was in Chinese :P we started talking to the people that were in line behind us. They were really awesome and nice to us! They treated us to Starbucks and stuff and also helped us understand what was happening. It was awesome that we did this is Kaohsiung because first of all, we met them and they helped us, and secondly because in Taipei it was really hot for everyone staying in line and in Taichung people were getting trampled haha. In Kaohsiung on the other hand people we all happy and sitting down and there were 250 extra tickets like the whole time haha which was very weird! :D :D but gooooooood. So after we had our Iced Coffee and lunch and finally got our Lady GaGa tickets we headed off (with the help of our new friends) to DaLi Department Store to wait for the others. We then went to the Night Market Area and looked around and then headed back to Taichung. soooooooooo I don't know if you are going to be able to understand that because my English is going downhill but all you need to know is that I had an amazing weekend! :D :D I shall update more later!!! Love and miss you all!..... P.S. I don't think my skin has ever been this soft! For those who know me best, you know that this is amazing! :P Goodbye!
