Day 7

Out first morning in Taiwan!! The differences between Japan and Taiwan are astonishing. One is all about being on time and being proper, the other is all about being laid back and just going with the flow. We spent the day going site seeing. Our first stop was this incredible memorial plaza with two huge orange roofed structures on the sides, a giant white with wall with entrances and at the end was the Taiwanese version of Abe Lincoln. This is the area were Brandon and I found a Taiwanese drum corps, we stayed behind from the group to talk with them. We missed out on the jade market but we got to talk our passion with people from a different country!!! From there Brandon and I had to navigate our way through the subway system and head over to Taipei 101, the third tallest building in the world, we managed fairly well and did not get lost. After 101 we started to head to the National Palace museum, but the girls were too tired so they went back to the hotel, and off the boys went but we had Chuck to help us out. I can't remember if I stated it or not, but I call Dr. Chen by Chuck, because his name is Charlie. The museum was alright, they are usually boring but if you add the fact you can't read anything...it makes it even more! But we still had fun walking around and just looking at the pieces. Outside while we waited for Chuck to finish his work Brandon and I started this thing that we call "The Taiwan Bomb", it is a backwards photo bomb. Confused? It is simple, all you do is walk up to a random person and take a selfie, or a self shot, and thank them then walk away. It is almost too much fun. The night was spent hanging out with this girl we talked to on the bus, thanks to the Taiwan Bomb. We went to a curry place for dinner then a German based pub and had some drinks. The rest of the group went to sleep, but not me and Brandon, we went off to find a night club. We met some random  students outside of a seven eleven; some Taiwanese, others America even a few from Europe, and we hangout with them until the early morning.
