This is me with the famous drink of Taiwan, Pearl Milk Tea (yi bei zhen zhu nai cha). At first, I didn't really find it all that delicious, but now I do! If you ever get the chance to try it, be sure not to pass it up. In Taibei, it costs $30 NT. That is less than a US dollar!

Today's lunch was pizza. To the right is your normal, everyday, American pepperoni pizza. To the left, however, is the most popular pizza of Taiwan: octopus pizza. It is a delicious blend of sweet, salty, and chewy elements.

After we ate dinner, Engrid, Hank, and Justin, and I went to a twenty-four hour book store. I think it is the biggest bookstore that I've ever been in in my life! The picture is of Engrid, Hank, and I standing outside of the store. Inside the book store they had English language learning materials that consisted of great American and British novels, as well as famous American speeched and the U.S Declaration of Independence and Constitution. What a way to learn English!

This is a picture of Justin and I eating my first dinner in Taiwan. We had some sort of pork and soup stuffed dumplings, shrimp soup, fried rice, and tea. The restaurant is actually located in the bottom of a department store/subway station!

Well, I made it! Here is the welcoming party that was waiting for me at the airport. The plane arrived on time and everything went well at customs. In the picture is Engrid, Justin, Michael (Engrid and Justin's uncle), and myself. After I got home I got a few hours of sleep, some delicious lunch (chicken and rice) and hung out with Hank and Justin discussing the culture of Taiwan!

Well, the day finally came. I woke up, dawned my rotary apparel, and headed for the airport. The picture is of me standing in front of not the airplane I boarded, but the airplane next to the one I boarded. I'm publishing this blog post from LAX right now, so everyone back home who is reading this, I've gotten this far! Thanks to everyone who made this trip possible! I can't wait to get into Taipei!

Every first weekend of August is our family reunion. This is a time for family all around the country and world to gather together and meet one another. Friday before the reunion, my family hosts a fish fry for all of the family to attend. This is a picture of my grandpa frying fish. It is so much fun for my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents to get together!

凡是八月我的家庭集合在我的家。我們吃魚肉。我的祖父在燒魚肉。我的家很好玩。
