in taipei now... not very eventful day... but interesting enuff... his cousins came to pick us up at the airport... had lunch... proceeded on to his granny's place... where we're staying on for a couple of nights... housing here is almost like in hkg... especially like the ones i see in HKG serials. coz i havent been there before... visited his aunt in the hospital too... and coming back to a feast for dinner... food, unlike what i thought, are rather different from chinese food back home... hard to get used to... but still good, nonetheless... queer how the first thing his relatives ask him is whether i speak mandarin... it's either i'm too quiet... or am too tanned to be chinese... walked around where his granny stays... it's kinda like sg's orchard road... 'cept that streets are filled with shops... so you dont have malls (with aircon) to go into... other than departmental stores... less comfort... and very expensive stuff... although i was thinking abt shopping here... maybe i should have spent more on the GSS back in sg... getting the things i so need... than saving up so miserably and coming here trying to spend it... but what really matters is that he's here with me... not the fact that dowdy pasar-malam clothes cost 3 for SGD50... nuthing beats the feeling of exhilaration... stepping into taipei airport... with his hand in mine... added to that... by the time i get back... my mandarin will also be very powderful... i will soon be able to shi shi sha sha with his parents... and any mandarin speaking individuals... or at least, i hope... ----Stef stopped rambling at 22:36 --Link to Post |
