Hello everyone!
WEll today it was teh CUlture Fair which was really cool! So, the kids from Taiwan taht want to go out to other countries next year had to have interviews today and then there gonna learn who si going to do an exchnage with Rotary later! So our job was to promote our countries because if they do get into the program, then will have to choose the countries they mostly likely want to go to. So every country had to make a booth and promote their countries! Canadas was really cool (well every country did a great job!) and we had pancakes (that we made..*cough we bought at mcdonals *cough) haha BUT i brought Maple Syrop from Canada, the real one that the ONLY SUGAR one so everyone loved it, even they exchnage students! haha It was really fun! They we all brought pictures of our provinces and other cool little stuff.. in total we were 5 Canadians, 2 from B-C, 1 from Manitoba, 1 from Quebec, and me from Ontario!! I put up the picture of my outfit.. Im sorry Rotary, but i might of scared off a few Taiwan students who wanted to go to Canada but after seeing me, quickly decided not to.. haha It was really great, we were placed in a circle and we got to meet alot of student who want to go to Taiwan and most of them seem really interested!! theres 3 girls from my school who want to go!! So cool! After that ( it was a long day cause i woke up at 5:30am, had to be there by 7:10 and it takes me a while to get there, then finish at 4:00) Me, Jolene, fellow Canadian, Drew (USA), Genesis(USA) ,Tally(USA) and Maria (swiss!) went to this Italian restaurant! OMG! it was unbelivable.. okay, if you have never been to Taiwan, specially when your a teenager and really picky about food, and you havent ate Western food pasta or anything simple and what ur used too, than you dont know what its like not to eat what you like for 3 months, and i mean nothing what you like! Because in other countries they have italian food if u got to europe and hamburgers, but Taiwan, NO! its COMpletely differentm like NOTHING alike at allllll! So when we went to this restaurant and it was like normal pasta is wwas soo awesome! hahA LIke I love the Food in Taiwan, but sometimes its just so great to be like omg, western/europ food!yay! We talked about how fast its going because i used to say, hey im gonna see ouy in 10 months! now its like 7 already!!?? its so CRAZY! and it was realyl great!
Talk to yo later!

Hello everyone!
So yea, I kinda totally forgot to write in the past like 20 days, so sorry for that, but theres nothing much to write about, only that Im pretty much living a normal life now, im not a tourist anymore, im actually really getting to become more adn more taiwanese! So i wrote my big Chinsee exam and I did pretty good for not learning chinese before comming here.. even though i did try, but i got placed in Class B (A is the best to D) So i was pretty happy, because most people in Class A sutdied Chinese alot before comming here, though there are some exeptions as my friend Drew from USA who is amazing!! School is really great, Im making so many friends adn we finally got our uniforms!! haha after 3 months! Me, Susy and Arely and meeting the principal tomorrow for lunch so we can discuss our lives at the school! its going to be fun!! Lately, ive been studying, because im changing host family december 8th around and i just figured otu that my next host mom does not speak ONE word of english and my host dad is not around much cause he works shifts, like night and days, soooo its okay! ill learn Chinese alot faster so im kinda preparing for that! haha In culture class were still doing some cool stuff! I got interviewed by the news paper last time, cause im class leader, and I met this guys who lives in Taipei from Egypt! it was really cool! We learned how to make Chinese Masks for their theatre, and coloring on tissus.. i dont know how u call it haha! But its really fun! CHristmas is appraoching quickly and i really think im going to be fine when it comes, because im going to be surrounded but so many of my friends here!! (i hope hah)
Well thats a quick update on my life so far.. I cant beleive it was already been 3 months here.. where did they go?? I have NOOO CLUE!

Hello!!!

Hi!!
So last week was a fun week!! During the week it was the same old same old, we went out to Ximen sometimes to hangout with some friends and of course study! Then, on friday at our school, we had a Military competition (where you see the pictures) and it was really intense!! Every Class of gr.1 had costumes and like deocrative tape and they had to sing the Schools song plus their own choreography.. its an annual competition that the military people of our school put on every year because they bring all the cflasses to gether.. these kids worked so hard on this competition and it really showed.. it was amazing, the songs were all grea,t the cheers were really funny and they were really really eager to see who won. they were really passionate about this.. plus.. the prize was soo great!! MATH CRAM SCHOOL!!! WOOO THEY WON MORE SCHOOL!!!! Because cram school costs alot of money here, the prize was after school school!! This here shows how INTENSE they are about school all the time in Taiwan! but guess who won?? MY CLASS! they were so great! I was soooo proud of themmmm!!
After that i went to the night market with some of Arely's classmates and it was really great!!!
Then on Saturday, me and sasha's club went hiking in the mountains, and it was sooooo beautiful, then we went to eat lunch at a center for the people affected by down syndrome,, it was really funn!!! Also, saturday night we had a Halloween party organized by ROTEX and it was really fun!! I got dressed up as a GANGSTER with Babette and Genesis.. (see pic below) It was sooo funny and I actually looked like a boy and everyone said that should be my everyday clothing!! hahaha It was really fun and everyone had a great time!

Talk to you later!
