Allow me to be a little achronological again today. I'll get back to the stuff I missed the past week.

Went for some karaoke again today. A big KTV hotel it was. As you can see, all my friends are rotaract now.

A bunch of strange stuff was going on that I didn't get too deep into as I am still not exactly fluent in Chinese. Seems like fun though. I heard lots of "不要不要!", when the guy had to kiss a girl on the cheek.

We sang a bunch of songs, mostly chinese. Surprisingly many english songs were available, but surprisingly many of them are some that I've never heard of. I could sing as many as was needed though, which were not many, as others were quite eager to sing chinese.

Later I went with some of my older homies from rotary to an expensive japanese restaurant in Sheraton Taipei Hotel that I walk by every day when I go to school. It's appareantly a much bigger place than it looks like from the main street. Got lots of large stuff I didn't take pictures of unfortunately.

But I did manage to snap a few pics of the food there. It doesn't look as good as it tastes, actually. A meal almost interely consisting of raw fish, miso soup and other stuff that your stomach can accept really easy. Too bad it's overly expensive, otherwise I could go there instead of eating lunch at school 10mins away.

Japanese green tea and japanese 'alcohol', also known as sake, (in chinese it's not called wine, it's just alcohol. For example red alcohol, beer alcohol, apple alcohol...)

Finally, saw this when I got home. Then I smiled, took a bath, wrote a blogpost and went to bed.
