Week 4 had its ups and downs.
The week started off hot. I finally went to a capybara café! An ultimate dream of mine, now checked off the bucket list. They were way bigger than I expected, kind of funny-looking, but somehow still… adorable? In a “so ugly they’re cute” sort of way.
I also got to spend time with my uncle and cousin. We went to this Taiwanese restaurant where I demolished all the 小笼包 I could eat—plus a bunch of traditional dishes that I cannot possibly name.
This week also marked the beautiful discovery of Uber Eats Taiwan. Six fried dumplings, wonton soup, and a side of vegetables… all for $8. The U.S. could never.
And then—plot twist—I got very sick. For the second time in just four weeks. Please send help (and maybe more dumplings).
