there is a big shopping area we walked trough near 101 today. we went by bus instead of taking the subway to see more of the city. again i bought some little things for my sister. i think next week i will send another packet to osnabrück. the last 4 days there was no rain. the sun was shining a lot and it had been so hot outside. without the air conditions i'ld die! but today it rained a little! we didn't have a umbrella so we got back to the hotel.
i like taipei more and more. it's really differrent here. people still stare at me, but i don't feel uncomfortable. in germany taking pictures on the street was hard for me. but here it's no problem cause everybody is looking at me anyway. i am free.
there are so many streets with shops selling the same things next to another. for example in ximen district there are at least 30 tiny stores for shoes, jewelry and clothes. i think that's really strange but it seems to work. and every street has a 7eleven, digi mart or familiy mart. it's crazy!
last tuesday we had our extra-class with taiwanese students again. this time our girl was really lame. we just sat there not knowing what to talk about. so we started to ask her some questions. she told us that most students here live together with their parents. and that they normally spend the weekends at home chilling and watching tv. they don't go out!
some of our group are staying at taiwanese families. they told me they are watching tv all the time too. especially the daily soaps.
well, here are some of the photos i took today
i don't know what that white cube-thing is. there were two of it in the middle of the street
this is the crossing(?)
a REALLY strange dog. he was traped on this little space. i guess the owners were inside the cafe you can see in the background, but i'm not sure
the contrast between the modern and seamy houses is huge!
the boys are obsessed by monkeys at the moment so C asked me to take a pic
i found another one
a hello kitty car (what is the right name?)
one more strange car
and another one (this pic sucks :(, sorry)
again a nice contrast. jeweller and an imbiss
traffic and multistory buildings
our bus home
