We got to be asian princesses

SO, its now wednesday in taipei and you know what that means..... BATMAN the movie comes out tomorrow! i am seriously so excited. We went to a taiwan waterpark on monday, it was super fun and I got three great big large mosquito bites to take home:) We went on pretty much every ride, minus the super steep one that only kristen and yuwen had the guts for. I think that by far the coolest thing we did at the waterpark would have to be the pond of fish which supposedly "massaged" and "ate" our dead skin cells. It was seriously a interesting experience having roughly thirty fish sucking at random places along your legs. I especially could not get over the "between the toes" action that the fish seemed to enjoy. To get through it both me and kristen had to pretend we were sticking our legs into a pool of 7UP, and that the tingly sensations were just carbonation. After the water park we were taken to a restaurant that was quite large and extremely empty. It was supposedly a seafood restaurant but it was both out of water and out of different types of seafood. Another new experience was the plate of black chicken. It is literally chunks of black coal-ish looking meat that once bitten into looks like purple chicken.... tasted relatively the same but extremely difficult to stick in the mouth, especially since the head and legs were also tossed into the bowl...
Tuesday, yesterday, was also really fun. We began the day late and didnt really do anything till we went to cts at 1:30, we watched a little bit of taping and the show was actually pretty interesting because it was centered on asians speaking english. at night we went out with isabella and her husband and we had dim sum, that was pretty yummy.

We are at our internship, CTS, right now, waiting to go to lunch with Isabella. She is so sweet and super caring. This morning she arranged for us to dress up as Asian princesses from different Chinese dynastys. We got our hair, makeup, and wardrobe done. It was super entertaining. They stuck fake pieces of hair onto our head to make the hats we had to wear not hurt as much. We took pictures in front of a chinese curtain thing. It was super fun.
Yesterday we went to Dr. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall after work, it's right next to our work so we walked over and bought gifts at the gift shop. When you walk inside there is a huge statue of him, just like Lincoln's at his memorial, and a little sign that says "salute please." So we looked at each other and then saluted. Anyways, we are off to lunch now, I miss everyone tons and tons and cant wait to come back next week!
