stinky tofu? Call that yilan musk

AUGUST 15TH, 2026

FEELING: pooped!

I just had an awesome great day but i am so mentally wiped. maybe tomorrow morning ill elaborate on the stuff here but heres the gist of my day in an easier to type way:

• was late to tai chi but did it and it was rad

  • tai chi guy was a riot, kept making us yell during tai chi which feels counterintuitive

• made new friends! ate lunch at 7/11

• went to Yilan traditional arts culture place

  • it was cool! kind of like a disney main street vibe

  • saw traditional arts workshops, bamboo weaving, silk fan making, etc

  • hung out with cool people

  • saw taiwanese opera museum, was rad

  • looked cute in new shirt

• went to yilan night market

  • things i ate at the market: bacon wrapped green onions, stinky tofu, chicken katsu, cilantro/peanut ice cream

  • night market is kinda like a county fair lowkey

this post lowkey sucks but trust me it was fun. i will post a lot of pictures so soon tomorroe but i need to sleep now or the world will fall into chaos..,,,

EDIT: ok its the next day, i’m rested. so tea, when we were getting on the bus to the night market and we were taking a while to leave because apparently we had picked up more students than we left with which was…odd. Then it turned out these 2 kids in our class snuck on the bus after taking an uber to Yilan and they got yelled at in japanese by the chaperone guy it was so awkward because me and Emi were sitting right next to them.

Anywho its photo time! Click/tap to view the next photo since theres a lot haha
