The above picture is me and my cousin making pottery bowls in Ying Ge. We both struggled to make an awesome looking object whether it was a bowl, cup, or vase. After the pottery man helped me, I just decided to quickly touch it up which really meant that he made it for me and I tried to shape it but ended up making it worse. But beside the point of my interesting bowl, I'm glad I accomplished the task of making a bowl or whatever since I have no artistic talent whatsoever. The reason why I'm explaining this story is because I'm happy I'm not giving up and sticking through things whether I'm scared or uncomfortable.
Today I had to open up a bank account. I thought there would be people who were able to speak English but I was wrong. All my coworkers go to this bank since the school is joined with the bank. I was proud that I was able to go by myself and open up a bank account and to communicate with the bank teller all in Chinese. Her English was bad and with her English and my Chinese, we got it all figured out. I think this is the last thing I need to do to "settle" in Taipei. I'm so happy! After two months of running around and making sure things are taken of, it's all done. I really hope I didn't jinx myself now lol
