I heard the shutter going up but wasn’t sure what time it was. I left my computer on but it had gone asleep. I turned it on and before it was on I was asleep. I did this twice. YJ massaged me at 7:30. she gave me the pass word. I sent a message well, it was just “ta!” but she got it and called me to tell that it should be all lowercase. I went to sleep again and it took me a couple of more hours to totally wake up. I was trying to write but every time I typed I fell a sleep. I finally got up around 10:30 and tried the password. It worked! My sister was online so I talked to her on Skype. Yj called a bit after 11am saying that she can pick me up and we can have lunch there. Oops I hadn’t have a shower yet. I quickly got offline and had shower then got ready to go. When I just finished packing Yj called my name from downstairs.
Left there and realized that I had forgotten the charger for my camera.
I thought I wouldn’t need it for a day or two but Yj was kind to go back home which was only a minute away from there anyway.
They had so much food on the table. Yj said that we should take it quickly or they’ll be gone and she was right. Because it was vegetarian, I didn’t have to check what they were. I just took a bit of everything. Yj was still busy talking to people etc. she came back every one and then and suggested that I have some dessert. It was very different from what I had before. She said it had medicine but didn’t taste bad at all. When Yj left again, this guy came to talk to me. He heard our conversation and realized that I don’t speak Chinese. He could speak English very well cause he had studied in Canada. He asked me so many questions. I understand that he would be curious why I was there, etc. Yj came back and was surprised that he spoke English.
1:20ish we left there. Cha told me last night that he had to leave at 2:30 so I wanted to get there before that. I didn’t think I could make it and Yj was a bit worried. I told her it’s not big deal. We arrived at the bus terminal at 1:35. Yj was gonna buy a ticket for me but she couldn’t park there. I went to the window and said where I was going in English. She gave me a ticket. Well it was easy.I asked her what time the bus was leaving. She said one 1:30.Well,it was already 1:35. I assumed that the bus was late.
Messaged cha to let him know that I got on the bus. He messaged me back saying that he got on the car.
I had set the alarm at 2:30 so that I wouldn’t miss the stop. I couldn’t recognize the place when I got off but when I walked a bit I found the way. I got to the camp nearly 3pm. I had 2 hours to kill so I got my laptop out and started to write.
It was already 5pm and they didn’t turn up. I started to wonder if he really understood what Cha said to him the other day. They showed up nearly 5:30. Mas came to the door and I said hi. He didn’t know that it was only me going. I gave him the dictionary and said that we need this. I quickly turned off my computer and got ready to go.
They had a nice big car. It was mmas his wife and their kids. The older one said “ konnichiwa” and they were happy to hear that. I sat on the front seat witch means that I couldn’t fall asleep. We talked a bit but it was too hard to keep talking for one and half hours. I taught how to say leave and arrive in a sentence. Mas was practicing it so many times.
Got to tainan. Mas was happy to use the new sentence he learnt. They showed me the town and went to Kao’s house. It was like a townhouse which is very common in big cities in Taiwan. It was narrow but 5 stories so there were many rooms there. We just sat down and introduce each other. There were many people living there, Kao’s parents, grandmother, sister and their maid from Indonesia. Sat down a bit and went out for dinner. They left theor kids there so it was only 3 of us. They knew that I couldn’t eat meat so they were taking me to this famous place for prawns. When masa ordered he found out that they use pork to wrap it. So I couldn’t eat it, damn! I had fish Noodles instead. Well, he had ordered that for me already. He was saying that we were gonna eat bits and bits but this was already pretty filling. Then we walked to this temple. There we had hmmm this is hard to describe.. it’s like Japanese pancake,“Okonomiyaki”but they use rice flour. It was pretty nice. The guy at this restaurant found out that I was Japanese and he gave me lots of brochures. He was saying that we should have something else but I was full. We got back to the car and drove around then went to have “Tofa”. Mas said this shop was famous for tofa. I couldn’t pay for anything cause every time he orders, he pays right away. By the time we got home it was already 10pm. They asked me if I wanted to have a shower and I said I normally have one in the morning. I played with Chi for a while using paper. He got used to me and we had fun without talking. I realized that they can’t go to bed if I don’t so I went to bed at 10:30.
