Last Day hanging out in Taipei

In the morning, we went out on our own. Lee picked us up late this morning, but I suppose he was incredibly busy. It was ok though. We went to get some beef noodles for lunch since we were hungry as hell. Then he dropped us off at Taipei main station so EK and I could get some computer shopping done. I bought three things that cost me a lot of money. I bought two 1 gigabyte RAM memory chips for my new laptop and a 1 gigabyte mini SD memory card for my new cell phone, both of which I haven’t bought yet.

From there, EK and I split ways. I would wait at Taipei station for Amy to come with her friends and EK would continue to shop for his computer things. He didn’t buy anything at this point. Amy was about 2 hours late from the original appointment time, but that was cool since I made a new friend who was trying to tell me about a business in Taiwan. It was pretty interesting and I got to walk around Taipei station to check out all the booths and stuff.

When Amy came, we took the bus to Ximen, which is a young people’s area. I went there before with EK and Lee a few nights ago. We decided to see a movie, and saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It was a lot better than I thought it would be and it was pretty good. The theater was interesting and it was a bit ghetto style, but it was a good experience.

After the movie, we met up with EK and saw that he had bought a lot of crap for his computer. He even bought a monitor. So we went into a tea shop after that and played cards with Amy, EK, Anne, and Andy. It was fun even though I lost a lot playing killer, or big 2. I had a lucky seat that I would win when I sat there and an unlucky seat when I was sitting next to EK. How odd is that? I had Taro milk tea, which tasted exactly like Tea Station’s Taro Snow Ice. After we stayed there for a little bit, we parted ways with Anne and Andy. We took the MRT to Longshan Temple station to go to Snake Alley. As you probably guessed, we went to take a look at some snakes. EK and I even decided to have a taste too. It wasn’t too bad, and it does taste like chicken, but without a lot of meat and it has a lot of bones. We drank snake poison, snake blood, snake oil and a few other things. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever done.

After that, Amy needed to leave, but we still wanted to get a massage. So Amy met up with her sister to go back to Taoyuan and she told Lee to come get us after we had finished with our massage. We went into a place to get a whole body massage. You know, you’re supposed to feel better afterwards, but I didn’t really feel better. It hurt a bit and left my muscles sore. I think she was pushing too hard and my muscles weren’t really relaxed. It was a good experience though. We were late to meet up with Lee and he took us home.

We began packing and since we’d have to get up a few hours later to go to Amy’s house I didn’t sleep at all. EK took a little nap on the couch downstairs, even though he should have been packing.
