Hello again. I'm sorry I didn't write recently. Had other things to deal with. Some of which I might still need to work a bit on.
As I am writing, I am upping my recently taken 354 pictures that I didn't manage to load into the computer since wednesday last week, as I couldn't find my connector. As always, I am tired while writing this, so I'll just post a few pictures to summarize my recent activities. Hopefully I can use this post as an against myself to write blogposts about the stuff.

This fruit is awesome. Taiwan has many many fruits, more than just a few of them even unique to Taiwan. After all, Taiwan has been isolated from other landmasses for a long time, and has therefore evolved a number of distinctively taiwanese (or formosan) plant and animal species. I'll have to get an English name on this one before I can write about it, so I guess I better stop being so lazy and ask someone soon. So far, all I can say is that is has an awesome and creamy texture, and it's very sweet. I mean, so sweet that when I am halfway through it, I start to find it a little too much. And I like sweet very much just by the way.

That's me and, I guess... my third host family brother. He's the brother of my third host family sister. I should blog more about hanging out with the older young people here. They're very good memories.

Especially because of stuff like this.

I also went to this Buddhist retreat at Ling Jiou Mountain on the northeastern coast of Taiwan with the most amazing view I've seen in my life. Let's see if I'll be satisfied enough with the trip myself to write about it. I can promise you that it's a really great place, and I have plenty of material to make a big post.

Also held a makeshift christmas party just yesterday which I should definitely write about soon.
