Topic: Taiwan or Bust
Well I made it to Taiwan where I will spend my days until July 25, experiencing new things and eating various plants and animals prepared in a variety of ways.
I have been here for three days and have had many experiences already...to numerous to type out now. But a run down is on its way, maybe when I return back to Hallettsville.
The wierdest things so far has to be "stinky tofu." This is its actual name, and they gave it to me the night I arrived. It smells alot like the pungent Parmesan cheese, but tastes a whole lot different. You can either have it fried or boiled. I was given both types. Fr. Tommy, who invited me to come with him here, told me all of his relatives were worrying about me. They didn't know what I would eat...what they could order for me at restaurants or prepare for me. He put any anxiety at rest when he told them I had already eaten stinky tofu. Now we just go out and have a good time see Taiwan in all its glory!
More to come...
