Taiwan

Yoohoo! Been in Taiwan for 5 days now. ;)

Am now typing furiously in Aunt YYYY's condo, and she has internet connection. Thank God.

Weather

Weather's a fickle bitch here. First day was hot as hell at 30 degrees max. I stayed in granny's house and she gave me a fan-less, aircond-less room so i stewed. Next day i moved over to another room with a floor-fan, so switched it to max and directed it right at my face. However, the temperature dropped like 5-6 degrees and i froze my ass off.

Now it's more or less 20 degrees. And it's pissing rain like no tomorrow.

Thing is, the Taiwanese people are relatively unperturbed by the rain and they go out anyway. Umbrellas and raincoat-clad people are abundant on the streets. Shops all provide umbrella stands.

Went crazy shopping yesterday at Taiwan's shi lin night market. Ha! Have snapped a whole load of pictures, so much that i've run out of space. I brought a pathetic 512mb memory card and it's just not enough. Will try to update whenever i can.
