As I start off my holiday adventures, I would like all those who are not able to joing me on them, know that you are truly missed and that it is ok to get severly jelous of the things that I will describe and show to you....😊 This past weekend Rach, Jas, and I headed down further in the dirty south of Taiwan to Kenting....it was BEAUTIFUL!!! We arrived Friday night, after much anticipation and a not so bad 80 min bus ride. We were dropped off on the side of the street, where there were lots and lots of people, the night market was def. in action. We ventured out to find a hotel to stay in for the weekend, us being the great barginers that we are, got a Hotel, called Hotel, for only 2500NT for two nights..split three ways, turned out to be nice and cheap, just the way we like it. Cheap, safe, and a friendly staff. After we got settled in, we headed out to find some grub and have a few drinks. We came across a mexican resturant that seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary, little did we know what we
were about to get ourselves into. About 30 minutes into our meal, music starts playing heave, DJ MacDaddy comes on the mic and announces some women to the floor-now i just want to inform you that there are children seated in the rest as well, eating. So out comes the first girl, doing a little dance, taking off a little clothes, and giving some love to Jason....now Rachel was kind enough to snap a quick picture first, but I know Jas prob doesnt want his face and some girls legs and crotch posted all over the internet, so for this, and just because he is one of my favs i will save him the embarassement (check my facebook)...then girl number two comes out and then girl number three comes out.....just until we thought we had witnessed it all, strip shows at a family rest dining with children in attendence....a guy comes out in a nurses uniform...you know this is gonna be good.......Rach and i have concluded that beacuse her and i and jason were picked on, it was beacuse we were the only foreigners in the bar, and they wanted a laugh, we were the lucky victims. Ok so long
story short, I was picked to go on stage first....drenched with water and ice cubes, straddled, picked up in mid air and thrusted---i was told my face was priceless and i also still am trying to understand why this little, yet buff, asian man decided it would be a good idea to pick me, the american woman, who isnt the skinniest up into the air...his back is hurting at this point. haaaaaaaaaaaaa. well then it was rachels turn, and pretty much she was picked up by just her jeans, it was a nice wedgee-gotta love the southern family style dinning. ALL IN GOOD FUN!!! Saturday we headed to the beach, managing to still wake up early, after having a long night of beer drinking, cap't n coke, and some taiwan cheeser drinks on the beach the night before. We enjoyed a great day lying in the ocean water, meeting many foreingers, and hving some good laughs. Rach and I got lazy at one point, and eventually rented some tubes to soak in the rays some more. Here is what we discovered while soaking in the sun:
1. Strangers will ask you to watch their children for a minute while they
go change-MY GOD!
2. Children come to the beach, with the intention of not swimming, fully clothes, no swimsuit, two minutes later they are in their underwear, playing in the water
3. Teenage, possibly even adult, men like to have sand fights, burry themselves in the sand, and throw each other in the water...parties
4. Some women will come to the beach, still I am pondering why, dressed with every body part covered, including face, and will sit under an umberla. HELLO HOT!
5. Lifeguards are useless
6. American sand artistic abilites are admired of those who are not American
Mid afternoon we rented scooters, from our lovely Hotel, and headed to another beach a little further south to snorkel. IT WAS AMAZING. such a neat experience, so many beautiful, bright, colored fish. loved every minute of it. though poor rach kept getting stung by the jelly fish, she must have been filled with peaunt butter that day or something, haha. I must admit, climbing the coral to get into the water was one of the scariest/dangerous things i have done, its crazy man, treturous. i fell, not gonna lie, scrapped the hand a bit, and broke one of
my sea shells, little pissed but whatever, it was all worth everything i was able to see. That night we watched the sunset, went to dinner had amazing mexican and margaritas and decided, well rach and i, to go back and take a nap while jas did a little souvenier shopping. What intended to be a , "let's just take a one hour nap" turned out to be 14. yeah thats right. we are cool. slept into the early morning of sunday. guess the sun wore us out. we did manage to wake up at 3 am to run to 7 eleven and get a snack since we had been passed out since 6 pm....poor jason, had to fall asleep after returning from shopping since no one would wake up and play. hahahah. at least we got plenty of sleep. Sunday we went to the beach again, took some pictures in teh "goonie" cave, jason went to climb a "mountain" and then we did some shopping, and headed home.
In a way, it beats having turkey and pumpkin pie in 30 degree weather!!! In other news..... Today i was doing a lesson with the kids, getting them to recall vocabulary words, we did a game "Things at the supermarket"...as I was reading off the words I came across "cock" my teacher and I looked smirked as we looked at each other, the kids started laughing..."teacher mary--coke-coke" I will just keep to my word that it was the children who had the spelling error. This evening I received acupuncture . I have trouble sleeping at night and my stomach doesnt do too well with the amount of oil and whatever else is in these foods, ok maybe i am just really too fat, but I thought getting some voltage on my stomach would help. ha. it was a most uncomfortable yet relaxing experience, though my stomach feels 'empty' now and its great. I hate needles-i dont know why i just didnt stop there, but then to have them shot in my stomach screwed down into my muscles and then massaged with this voltage thing, yeah, pretty much couldnt laugh or talk--it was a neat expereince though, i am going back tomorrow. ha. I have posted some vidoes from taiwan that I have taken....feel free to check them out...just copy and paste the link to your web address and it
will take you to my page...tonights even is up. http://www.youtube.com/user/MaryteachTaiwan
oooo YEAH. I GOT MY TICKET TO HONG KONG TODAY---WHEWWWWWWWWWWW RACH AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST..
Im out. From the Dirty. Until Again.
