Taiwan Diary - Day 3

Day 3

Woke up, breakfist, got changed blah blah blah... After all that stuff me, my dad, my grandpa and grandma went to the train station to buy tickets for sundays trip to Taipei 101! (The tallest building in the world! p(^o^)q Woop Woop go Taiwan!) I saw more monks. When we got back from the train station my dad took me on his motorbike to by his underwear (He didn't want me to post this info... hehehehe) and after Mcdonalds! Yeah! I bought a McChicken - It was $35 yen ($1.5 New Zealand). Talk about cheap! Compared to New Zealands $4 burger this is nothing! After that my dad took me to "Nova", this electronic department store. I went to the free internet and used it for like 20 min, I tried to watch Naruto but there was no sound, so I went to droidz, darkdemon, and all that stuff I usually go to. My dad found me and said that I could only use it for like 10 min... woooops!!!! The message was right there in front of me on a peice of paper..... but I couldn't read the chinese!
When we finished shopping my dad took me for a little walk, and I say the best thing in the world...... I don't know how to say it in english but its like dough, fried with bits of spring onion in it, my mum made some at home but these are uncomparable! She like hardly fries them but these people fried them like chicken! It was $20 yen.
We got back and for dinner my cousins (The rich ones) took us to this famous Japanese Resturant - where the first course was wheat tea. Normally I wouldn't drink it but hey, I tried not to be picky tonight.... cause everyone would look at me curiously. I drank the whole thing down and the next thing that happened was that the waiters poured even more.....I drank the whole thing and they came again.... damn! Oh well it did taste a little better when you got used to it. The cousins dad poured wine and I drank a bit. The next course was sashimi - raw fish! I ate raw scallop, and a bit of raw shrimp. I also ate like 6 raw salmon eggs.... it was salty! After that came these sushi wrapped with tuna (It's not raw), I took a bite and didn't enjoy it, so I passed it to my mum. After the sushi came cooked scallop - It was pretty good... I ate 2. You had to cook it yourself.... fun! Then was the beef wrapped over sparragus (Is that how you spell it?), my mum ordered BBQ chicken for me.... I guess sheknew I wouldn't like it..... after finishing the chicken my mum let me try the beef on the sparragus..... it tasted like bacon! Yum! She was gonna eat the sparragus when I came down with my chop sticks and attacked with my mouth... lolz! Steamed bowl came next (Its like soup with noodles, fish and veges throwed in.), I passed... same as my sister and two of my cousins. My mum bought us some cakes from this shop called 85C (Degrees)... my sis thought it was 85 cents! Random! I bought chocolate, she bought fudge, one of my cousins bought strawberry and the other this icecream thingy. It was heaven! When we got back the rest of the people have already finished the steamed bowl, and the waiters left us to chat. After chatting it was the desert - you could choose from coffee - hot or cold, tea and orange juice. I picked juice. Then came red bean soup. I drank one spoonfull and gave it to my mum. To end the night my cousins dad gave me and my sis some money - $1200 Yen ($55 New Zealand?) for chinese new year cause we wouldn't be here. My cousins drove me home and when we got to my house it seems that my mum and co. haven't arrived yet. So they drove me to there place (It's in the same block.) I played pool and watched them play "Gears of War"on there Xbox 360 (They also have a PS2.) My dad and came and said goodnight to the people and we went home.

PS: My foot hurts so much! I can't walk propably!
PSS: Might not write tomorrow, I'm going to 101! Hurray!!!!!
