Love this place.

I'm pretty hung over from the craizest night of my life but i feel like writing some of my experiences down before i forget.

Day 1: Jet lag, downtown Taipei and getting on famous off the shoulders of Jeremy Lin at the Brass Monkey.

Day 2: Shopping at the local Costco for a bed and groceries. We are staying at Joey's apartment abover the Nanshijiao MRT. It feels like my own place. We check out Taipei 101. I walk around taking photos. Joey gets smashed and embarasses himself. I get bit 32 times by a mosquito in my sleep. Jordan doesn't get bit once and is sleeping in the same room. Fuck that shit.

Day 3: Jordan and i walk around our new neighborhood and go for a "hike" by this temple. Not much of a hike. Maybe 100 stairs to no where. We check out a local school and watch kids play basketball. Lots of kids stare at us. Finally getting the stares I was hoping for.

Jordan and I take the MRT to Maokong to buy tea. Cool spot. Very whimsical.

Day 4: We go to Wulai to check out a waterfall and hike around. First time riding a bus in Taipei. Wild ride. Standing room only. At night, we get fucked up with joey and kuan and end up at a karaoke. Straight up craziest night of my life.

Day 5: Woke up at 3PM from a crazy bender. I decide to write so i walk to a internet cafe located across the street from a technical high school/college. At the moment my brain is not firing all cylinders. Jordan is still asleep in the room. My debit card stopped working and i don't have any cash. Thinking about going to Hualian and Taroko gorge. Need to get away from the temptations of taipei.

More details later. I promise.
