Missed train

My coworker planned a trip for me and a bunch of my other coworkers to go to Miaoli and go strawberry picking and see the lantern festival. Drew and I got the time and place mixed up to meet today and we missed the train! Our coworkers were really nice and they waited for us and they didn't go. I thought we were leaving the house at 10:30 but we were supposed to meet them by that time. Then we thought we were supposed to meet at the bus station but it was actually the train station...ugh

I felt horrible! I called them but we didn't have enough time to make it and we got lost since Taipei Main Station is huge. Since the train left at 11am, we didn't have time since we got there around 10:35am. Luckily we got the ticket times switched so we are going tomorrow since we have a 3 day weekend due to 2/28 (Taiwan holiday). It's just unfortunate because we planned to go today so Mon. we could rest. Anyway, after that fiasco we had lunch then we went to see the movie "Unknown." It was a pretty good movie. Drew and I bought the tickets for everyone since we felt bad. Then we shopped for a bit and went back to my coworker's apartment, ate dinner there, and watched TV.

I'm definitely going to get up early to make sure we won't miss the train again. Drew and I are going to meet my coworker early at the MRT station and then go together to Taipei Main Station. On the bright side, it was a nice day today and we walked around Ximending. Pictures above are the soup I got at this cafe area and graffiti around Ximending. They look cool and I haven't really seen a whole lot of graffiti here in Taiwan.
