... the only white chicks in the entire club. It was fun though and we actually saw quite a nice collection of handsome Taiwanese men. We will definitely be going back there in the future. At 4 AM the place closed down and so we had to move out. Meghan and I were pretty hungry at this point and so we walked around till we found a 24 hours McDonald's. We went inside and had this amazing breakfast. I had some fantastic pancakes and OJ...which I was missin'. We were ...

... I started feeling light-headed and dizzy. My mom didn't believe me (because a bus ride can make my head spin), and I wondered if the shots had some Benadryl-like component that was making me super dizzy. However, my sight became blurry and I couldn't walk anymore. As you might have guessed, I black out on the sidewalk. Last thing I remember was thinking that we had gotten on the bus and telling my mom to wake ...

... of Guanyin - whcih was reconstructed in a likeness of Dragon Mountain in mainland China. There are now also some Taoist gods, like the goddess of the sea, Mazu, and the whole temple is of the typical Chinese roof with curling eaves and sculptures of writhing dragons. Apparently, the temple is particularly known for its intricate and detailed sculptures, woodcarvings and bronzework (see photos). After touring the local ...

... and the reek of urine trailing behind me like as though I was a skunk. I was not doubt quite pungent at this time. I had no spare clothes, and my carry-on had been only my bag of books. My socks, unchanged since I'd left Winnipeg and trapped in the twin sarcophagie of my skateboard shoes, had, at some point in the night, evolved into some strange new cotton-based life-form similar in form to the common sea spunge, but reeking ...

Still, it's typhoon season, and I hear that there is another one coming straight our way! With hopes, in my last 2 weeks here, I will be able to get a typhoon day. Haha!

Bin-lan: a nut that gets chewed(by mostly the mountain people and curious foreigners who are usually sorry afterwards when their teeth are stained pink for a few days) and it makes a disgusting sauce in your mouth that many men like to spit out whilst ...

The allegations have since been removed). Saturday was spent showing my parents around all then places of interest in Hsinchu, which took about 30 minutes ...
