Today we woke up bright and early at 6am again! We took the bus to Pin Jeng Senior High School. They were one of my favorite schools thus far. They were all waiting for us outside as we pulled up, on a red carpet! It was pure AWESOMENESSSSS!!! The students applauded as we were walking in and being photographed by an adminastrator. I loved every minute of it. Once we got settled we went and watched a drama the had prepared for us, IN ENGLISH! Then they made us play roles in the drama, IN CHINEESE! They would applaud in excitement once we finished our line even though we all knew we had messed up miserabley. After the drama we went and made rice dumplings for lunch, luckily they also had some PIZZA! Eveyone was so excited to eat! It was different though because there was no sauce on the pizza. I still liked it. In our afternoon classes we went to art and Kung-Fu. The art class was a blast because we gotto make shirt that had American and Taiwaneese flags on them! They look legit! Then in Kung-Fu we leared a routine. The knife was my weaponv of choice. The moves were cool, but it got pretty hot in the uniforms they gave us we had to wear! They gave us long sleeves and sweat pants in a school with no air conditioning! We all hung in there though. The school was so sweet and welcoming!



Later in the night we went to the Taoyuan night market that everyone seems to speak so highly of. There are lighted streets and shops all the way down. I tried some pretty out there foods like chicken feet, stinky tofu, spicy fish eggs, pinapple, jellied bean curd, and a few other things that I don't know how to say in english! I suprisingly loved then all soooooo much!! We shopped around the streets for a while and then left in a taxi to go to a department store. We looked around inside, but didn't buy anything because it was all too expensive. Upstairs in the food court we went to Coldstone Creamry and got some ice cream. To our hosts it was very expensive, so we bought them some. It was a super fun night!
