To start off the week, on Sunday I went with my host family to Zhuwei Fishing Harbor, Bali, and then took a ferry across the river to Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf. After another week of classes, there was “Taipei Night,” HTA’s talent show! We had a third-year class skit (“fashion show” theme) and I even accompanied another student singing “Girl from Ipanema” (in Chinese, of course!). The next day I saw a baseball game, the Brothers vs. the Fubon Guardians, and there was even a musical performance with a K-pop star at the end! Over the weekend I also finally managed to make it to Chiang Kai-shek, where I happened to run into 王老师, my Chinese teacher (what are the chances??), and Taipei 101.
I can’t believe it’s already the last week: the past few weeks really flew by. As I experience all the “lasts”—the last quiz, the last textbook lesson, the last class—my goal is to finish strong. Until next week!
