FEELING: ready for school not ready for rain

HELLO getting ready for school now so im typing at lightning speed!

I got back to Taoyuan on Sunday and we all got food with some family friends and hung out until like 11pm. The family had a daughter that was roughly my age and I thought she was so awesome. During the day, I went to eat food with the Kaohsiung family and we went to visit my other great uncles house. He had an awesome massage chair and made us lemonade and I got to try a custard apple (was so awesome and sweet). It was a real test for me because I basically only spoke Chinese that whole trip!

On Monday I went to class as per usual and had the Monday buddy party after class. The buddy party was nice and we played a board game that looked super similar to settlers of catan but was actually extremely different. I loved the Taiwanese group leader though, she was awesome. They also gave us really good cheesecake!

After that I went back to Taoyuan and we went to the aquarium. In my adult life I have grown to absolutely love aquariums, like they are probably my favorite place to go out because I think reading books about fish is fun (I am a boring person). The aquarium was doing a collab with Pikmin and Animal Crossing which was so amazing because they were playing the New Horizons OST everywhere you went and I listen to that all the time. I loved seeing all the fish and was able to nerd out about a lot of them with my family.

today im going to shifen:) thats gonna be so fun but it is RAINING SO BAD all week until I leave. BRUH!
