Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Goodbye Taiwan

Ha, so I haven't updated in quite a while. A month and a half, to be exact. Christmas rolled by, and New Year's too. And alas, it is the day before I am going back to Canada!

It is completely surreal, and I don't think it has officially set in that I am leaving tomorrow. I've packed up most of my stuff, given some to Robert to bring back for me. (I'll just have to trek over to Victoria to grab it). And since some family friends are getting engaged in April, their families will go to Vancouver (From Taiwan), so I also left some stuff behind. Considering that, my luggage is STILL overweight. So I bought a lot of stuff. Can you blame me? ;D I'm a girl, and stuff is cheap in Taiwan!

For the last week, I've been trying to eat as much Taiwan food and drink as much bubble tea as I can! Gotta stock up on the Asian goods, including food!

I am also super proud of myself. My bike was getting squeaky, so I thought it was the chain getting rusty. AAAND I greased the chain up myself! AHH! Super proud.

Taiwan has been amazing, and I am definitely grateful for this exchange experience. Even though I was born here, and had spent some of my childhood here, I still got to see a lot of places that I hadn't seen before. Not to mention, I made a lot of great people. And now I have places to stay if I go to California, haha.

Things I have done in Taiwan that made me proud of myself:
Re-learn how to ride a bike
Pump said bike tires
Grease the bike chain
Snorkel
Danced on the stage at a small club
Danced on a block-platform at a big club
Be generally independent
