Since I got paid last week, I'm now able to spend more money eating outside and actually buying clothes. I only took out $60USD from the bank today. I bought a stapler, a coffee, two teas, lunch, and dinner. I lent $100NT ($3USD) to my coworker since he lost his ATM card. I then went to Shilin night market and bought 4 shirts (2of them were matching sets) and 2 shorts. All together I only spent about $1300 NT which is roughly about $45USD or so. That is so cheap but yet I ate good food and got cute clothes. The clothes might not be the best quality but it's fine since I will be here less than a year now and I can't bring everything back home.
On a side note, my appetite is kicking back up again and today I was adventurous and tried something new. I usually get this wrap that I've eaten before with lettuce, meat, and toppings. This time I ordered a fruit one with crab meat and it was actually delicious. I was scared at first because I saw her make it and she was adding such weird things like banana, crab salad, mayo, apples, and cucumbers. I was afraid it would be gross but it was actually really good! It's really going to be hard to go back to U.S. and have to spend about $5USD at least for a decent lunch when I pay about $1-2USD on a good meal.
