Hello! Sorry for the long wait! I’ve been super busy with classes, which have been consisting of small 听写’s, speeches and lots of homework! Within the past week (and a half) I’ve done a lot of stuff. Let’s start.
One of the highlights was this past Saturday, where I checked out the nearby Jianguo Flower and Jade market. The stuff there was so pretty, and was a nice escape from the increasing heat. Next, ICLP had arranged a day trip to Tamsui, a small town that holds a lot of history in Taiwan. We checked out a ceramics place, and even got to meet some people making the ceramics! We also checked out Fort San Domingo, a Spanish fort with years of history relating to Taiwan’s connection to colonization. I thought it was fascinating. However, the whole 4 hours we were in Tamsui, it rained. Hard. An hour in, my shoes were completely soaked. When we were done with the trip, my friends and I were wringing rain water out of our dresses. How funny!
Today’s entry is going to be a bit short, especially since I’ve been so busy, and I was sick for a bit, which means that I sadly do not have many stories for this week to tell you guys. Next week I promise I’ll have more!!
