Some interesting/disturbing things happened today.
Some interesting/disturbing things happened today. Some thoughts crossed my mind, I thought I would just enumerate:
1. A girl, I would say about 20-25 called me, "older sister" when she asked me to take a picture for her and her bf. I was really disturbed by this. Do I really look that old that someone that I think looks about the same age as me feels inclined to call me older sister? I think I am having a major crisis about getting old.
2. My uncle told me that he had a co-worker that drinks his first pee of the day every morning. Apparently, this is becoming a new trend. He said that his friend who had white hair, after drinking his pee for a while, turned it all back to black. My first and only thought to this was, "that's NASTY" and that was about it.
3. I am in love with suburbia. We went to Costco in Taipei today, and the Costco was exactly the same as the ones in States, including the ample parking space. I like ample parking space. I like not parallel parking. As we drove around the parking lot, I was reminded of how much cooler suburbia is, and how I can't wait to have the house in suburbia with the garage and large kitchen. (Yes, I know, I am a freak).
4. Listening to a lot of Taiwanese is extraordinarily tiring. I never realized how strenous it is for me to listen to it all day long. I always thought I was pretty decent at listening to it (as my speaking is really quite terrible), but apparently my parents usually switch between Taiwanese and Mandarin, which makes it easier for me. But my relatives and my mom spoke in Taiwanese for the entire day, and by nighttime, I felt really drained. Like I had been listening to a foreign language for the entire day. Weird, huh?
5. I bought the chinese version of the second Harry Potter book. They didn't have the first one, but hell, I've read the english ones, so I should be ok. Figured I should give another go at retaining my chinese.
