Taipei shirt. Represent represent!
Arrived at Taoyuan airport Thursday morning (8/26). Plane was a little late but arrived safe and sound. Got my bags and tried to use the payphone to call my aunt. I didn’t know the right area code/prefix to use so I kind of just gave up. Bought myself a ticket to bus it to Taipei city where I was supposed to meet up with my aunt. Since she didn’t know about the plane delay, when she saw my bus reach Taipei Main Station she was relieved.
We didn’t even have time to drop off my bags because my apartment is far out and I actually had to register for classes that very day. I’ll have another post about the registration process. Anyways when we were all done we went to check out the apartment. It was quite the journey getting there because I had all my luggage with me. We had to take the MRT from Guting all the way to the end of the blue line, Yongning. From there we luckily found a cab to take us up to the apartment.
We had quite the scare when we arrived at the doorsteps. I was dead tired from the whole day’s ordeals, so when my aunt couldn’t open the door with her keys… I just stood there stonefaced. Then she discovered she was using the wrong set of keys the whole time. Out of respect, I stayed silent. But it was a moment worthy of a double facepalm.
The apartment, despite being out of the way, is very livable. My aunt actually kept a piano in there, which is pretty pimp. It’ll let me play the Secret song to unsuspecting girls, which would make it actually pimp. There’s a 7-11 outside, very crucial. But better yet… wait for it… there’s also a godamn BASKETBALL COURT outside!!! Once I get internet and a bicycle I’m golden.
For now, I’m gonna stay at my aunt’s house so I can use internet and continue working on the blog. Catch ya later.
