No sun moon lake

(at the hot pot: restaurant where you cook your food with a boiling soup pot)

Today (this is me pretending I wrote this entry on Tuesday the 17^th) we had a visit to Sun Moon Lake scheduled…. Its one of the top destinations in Taiwan… but because of the rain predictions the trip was cancelled!

I NEEED TO GO SWIMMING SOME TIME…. We have not seen any beach or lake yet… that’s sad…. I mean we are in an island… and islands are surrounded by water!!!

People here don’t like the idea of swimming though… they think its dirty or whatever and even say that there are “piranhas” in the lake for kids not to swim…. They also don’t really like the sun as we all know….

ME SINTO UM PEIXE FOR A D’AGUA…. LITERALMENTEEEE!!!

Quero nadarrrr! Quero tostar no sol ate arder!!! Quero praia! JA!!!!!

Poxa, fico to pouco em lugares quentes... tenho que aproveitar! Eu e a jen vamos dar um jeito de ir pra uma ilha aqui perto esse fim de semana!

BOMMMM.. instead we just chilled....

Woke up late.... ate at Hot Pot... SOOO GOOOD! (Hot Pot: voce pega as comidas que voce quer cruas e cozinha numa sopa fervente num pote na sua mesa.... vc pode por legumes, vegetais, carnes, pasteizinhos, miojo etc...)

Side note: I took Manuel to get his wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday.... It is sooo cheap here... like 60 dollars per tooth... I was pretty scared for him... but its turns out that the method was pretty similar to the one in Brazil... for all of you americans that dont know what that means: THEY DONT KNOCK YOU OUT....

HONG KONG tmrw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooo exited!

JOGAMOS VOLLEY DE NOITE: minha camiseta (que comprei no mercado sem saber o q queria dizer) diz PI SUH.... quer dizer vencer/ determinacao para vencer... e' o q os kamikases tinham estampado nos seus capacetes
