Tonight, I went to the gym with Alice, who just returned from a very long trip to Taiwan. How long was it? Two weeks? Three weeks? TOO LONG! I updated her on all the latest happenings in the good ol’ USA. Let’s see, Obama won in Iowa, Hillary won in New Hampshire — oh, and Britney’s still crazy and American Gladiator rules. In return, she gave me a little bag full of awesome gifts, including Lotte “Fruits Assort” gum (delish!) and a pack of disposable panties (shrug).
Matt and I are planning to visit Taipei in March, boss approval pending. I’m a little nervous because we’ll be going with his family, and that’s like serious grownup relationship stuff (woah), but I’m also super excited (!!) because all I hear keep hearing about is the amazing food. Alice says she’s going to make me a little cheat sheet with all the yummiest dishes that I can show to restaurant people and street vendors and say in broken Mandarin: “I want to eat this.” Alice, how do you say that?
If any of you have any suggestions as to what we should see/eat/do, please send them my way. Can’t wait to fob it up!

Go Hillary!!!
Have a great time in Taiwan! I also have heard the food is great. Don’t fart in front of the boyfriend’s parents. That’s my best piece of advice.

“I want to eat this” in my broken Mandarin:
“wah yeow tzchu ziga” (and point). tee hee.
Have fun. I remember it being very green over there and humid. And I also remember Taiwan guys wanting to take pictures with me individually (they took turns) when I was 15 years old. Strange.
Thre is something that smells like poop there but apparently it is supposed to taste really good. If you smell it and find out what it is, you have to tell me. And if you find somehow to get that stinky stuff up to you mouth, you’ll have to tell me how.

I like Cat’s advice. Maybe we should make it something to not do in front of anyone, including me.
