Dentist, Curves, and Wedding

Today Drew and I had our dentist appointment. It was so cheap to have our teeth cleaned. For one person it only cost about $4USD!! No joke..it was insane. It only cost $150NT with my insurance card. Everything was in Chinese but the dentist could speak a little bit of English. I understood the gist of everything though. Then I went to check out the Curves gym since it was on the 3rd floor next to my apartment and the dentist place is on the 4th floor. It's super close to my place and my roommate was thinking about exercising there.

When I first came in there were about 5 of them sitting around and I just asked them when they opened and they kept talking to me and they were crazy because they really wanted to guess where I was from. They immediately wanted to guess and they were super energetic, trying to find the answer. I gave them some pretty good guesses and I told them I could speak English, I even spoke English to them even, and they couldn't guess it. It took them a long time to finally figure it out since they kept thinking I was from an Asian country. The guy finally guessed America and he didn't even believe it.

I told them they can't pay attention to what I look like but by listening to my accent. It was pretty interesting since I just wanted to know how much their program cost and instead I got bombarded lol Tonight I got observed from the new teacher and it sucked since the cd player wasn't working and I was teaching them hard things like Neil Armstrong lol Yep and they learned Marco Polo. They are only about 10 years old. The new teacher was understanding but it's still embarrassing lol

The best thing that happened today though was that one of my best friends sent me her wedding invitation and she asked me to be her bridesmaid. This will be the first time I will be a bridesmaid at a wedding. I feel so honored! I can't believe already my best friends are getting married but it's definitely exciting :)
