Internet access from my place

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

The internet has now been hooked up in my room. It’s by no means perfect and my laptop is pretty old, but it’s far better than the no connection I had before.

It rained here this evening. I’m out of options for what to eat already (unless I have Taiwanese hotpot every single night, which I’m happy to do, but for any variety one needs to spend big bucks) so I went to KFC and got a chicken breast, some chips and the closest I could get to some fruit juice. Quite yummy.

Anyhow, I’ve got to think about a full day of classes tomorrow, so I’d better stop procrastinating and prepare.

Missed a bus

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Last night I missed a late bus travelling from our remote campus to my apartment. Some friendly students took me up to the main road where they told a taxi driver where I wanted to go.

The cab driver needed to stop for gas (i.e. really gas, not petrol) and it all gave me a chance to learn a few new words.

Afterwards I went for another walk around Carrefour and had Taiwanese hotpot.
