woke up 5ish first and went back to bed. I work up every an hour but didn’t really get up until 9:30. checked my e-mails again. I was writing a bit and started to get hungry. Yj’s mom was there she was coughing so much. I wished I could help her but there was nothing I could do. I had to do my washing.
went out to get some lunch. Had no idea which way I should go to find a shop. Walked along the main road. I saw this sign sayig “convenient” and “shop” for some reasons I thought that it was a shop where they sell something convenient.. well, I didn’t think it was a convenient store. Got some food and there.
called yj around 2pm she was talking about picking me up for lunch but she was too busy which I was expecting. She called Iva but she didn’t answer so we decided to wait until she finishes her class which was about 4pm. I messages her around 4 but there was no answer. Called around 5 too.
then she she called and quickly changed to her husband who can speak Japanese. I told him that I can go there by taxi but I don’t know the address there. I asked him to text message me but he didn’t know how to. Iva either. Told him I’ll get cha to message me and called cha. He said that he would call me back later cause he was in a class teaching,oops. called Yj and surprisingly she answered right away. However she didn’t know how to text message in Chinese so she told me that she would call her mom and ask her to get a taxi for me. When I went downstairs she was already on the phone and a taxi came right away. She told the driver where to go and explained that I don’t understand Chinese.
got to their place in 10 minutes. The driver said it’s there but I couldn’t tell where the entrance was. It was good that I had been there before. I was going to ask the security guard to call him but I realisaed that I didn’t know how to say their name properly. Called Iva and the husband answered. Told him that I was at the downstairs. I was a bit worried about my mobile cause the battery was ding soon.
When it dies I die! I went outside to see if the entrance was at the corner there. I saw someone looking at me..it was Iva’s husband. He said “you went to the wrong entrance” I said “I know”
Iva was out to get some food. I had thought we were going out for dinner. I said “oh that’s right she was a good cook” He said “she said you are. She is expecting you to cook”
He was right. She came back with some sashimi and nori. She wanted me to make sushi whixh she missed at the camp.
Well, she had a wrong kind of nori and vinegar. I told them I would make it next time I come here and bring all the ingredients. I helped her making salad instead. Her husband suggested that we write diwn Chinese characters to communicate. It worked up to certain points. When we were about to start eating she realized that she had bought a salad. So I put it on top of my salad and said “”two layers salad!” but she didn’t get it. They asked me where I wanted to go in Taichung. I said anywhere particular but I need to get a battery for my computer and it might be cheaper to get it in Taiwan rather than buying it in Japan. He said that her sister who has a car and live around there might be able to take me to a shop if she has time. It was a feast and we couldn’t finish eating them all.
I opened up my laptop and was about to write something and Iva said that her sister was coming. We had to leave in 30 seconds. I thought she was coming here to visit but she was waiting outside in a car.
I didn’t realize where they were taking me until we got to the place… it was an electrical store cause I mentioned that I needed to get a battery!! I laughed and said that they didn’t have to. We went in anyway and asked the shop assistants if they sell a battery for Toshiba “dynabook” I wasn’t sure which type so I made it up. They said that they don’t sell that there but we can try the other shop. Iva was going to take me there. I said “puyo,puyo” told her that I didn’t really know the type for my laptop anyway.
We went back home and her sister came and stayed for a little bit. I was writing while they were talking at the back. They have a big apartment.
When her sister left her husband came to show me something. It was a book about history of aborigine of Taiwanese. I remembered that I mentioned that I was interested in that at the dinner. talking until 12
We were talking until midnight. Iva was surprised that we were talking still. I finally found out his name was Fum and he gave me some of his books too. He was actually very famous in Taiwan.
I had to ask him if it was past his bed time.
Went to bed and realized that I forgot to bring my pajamas. I thought I’d better get up before they do…
