I was on my way to the gym this morning. I was standing on a corner waiting for the red light when this lady on a scooter rode up to me. She asked me where one of the universities were at. I was telling that my Chinese isn't that good and she looked at me with a huge surprise. Her mouth dropped open literally and she really was speechless. I told her to keep going straight and turn left but that she might want to ask someone else since she might not be able to understand what I'm saying. She was like ok and rode off. It was hilarious because she was really in shock.
I really felt like I was an alien or something. I knew I have a strong American accent but dang haha Nah, I'm just kidding. I know she was expecting I was Taiwanese but I really do feel like I look more western than anything else. Oh well!
After my run on the treadmill, I was pretty tired since I haven't ran for awhile. I went to this restaurant on the sidestreets of the Shilin night market. I ordered food and actually just ate there. It was pretty nice though and I felt like I was really in Taiwan since I ordered everything in Chinese and ate Chinese food, also the radio was on and playing traditional music. Today was one of those days which I kept thinking about how much I liked it here and that I would really miss Taipei when I leave.
