Taipei Adventures

Hello All! So this weekend we went to Taipei again because we were going to go to a Mummy Exhibition with some friends! The thing was they were going to Taipei Saturday morning and leaving Saturday night and we wanted to stay longer. So we decided to go on Friday after classes. We asked people what buses and stuff to get on and just took off. Well apparently something didn't translate because we started heading towards the High Speed Rail Station instead of the bus station. So my friend got her friend to translate stuff over phone to the driver and he told us to get off and get on another bus the other way. The next bus took us close to the station but we couldn't find it so my friend called her friends again and they just said that they would pick us up and help us buy a bus ticket haha. So we finally got a bus ticket with their help :D and it was a pretty nice bus. Everyone had their own t.v. and it was air conditioned and fancy. So we made it to Taipei 2 1/2 hours later and tried to find our hostel that we were staying at for the night. We kinda got lost again in the darkness and went inside the 7-11 to ask the hostel guy for directions. He said he would walk over and meet us there and good thing he did because the hostel was pretty hidden and we would have never found it haha This hostel was actually really clean and nice and full of interesting people and it was a really cool experience. After we explored the night market kinda by where we were we went back and some of us talked to this girl from Holland for about 2 hours so that was funnnnn.

In the morning we woke up and went to get some breakfast and meet up with our friends at 10. We met someone else at breakfast because he helped us decipher the menu and what there was to eat :P I had "Egg Pancake" yum yum yum. After that we walked around a little bit where we were and then met our friends. There were some cool spots around hurr.

So then we met up with our friends and went to the Mummy Exhibition at the CSK Memorial Hall. It was pretty cool except that it was hot and there were literally like a bajillion people. I saw 2 mummies though so that was kinda cooool :D :D If you can't tell by the pictures,  it is really hotttt.

After that we went out to eat. Well at this time I started getting a headache/migraine so I wasn't feeling too hot. So I just baically died during lunch and up until the point where we went to the Maokong Gondola's a few hours later where I threw up in the bathroom at the top of the lift haha and then ate 2 corndogs.

Then we looked around this cool place at the top of the lift and took some awesome pictures of the sunset and whatnot which was beautiful with the pollution.

Then we went to Shilian Night Market in Taipei and got some food and then took a bus back to Taichung where we had to call them to let us in because it was 1 a.m. :P It was a good trip and now to study!!! haha

oh and I bought some new shorts finally! :D
