11/15/15: Xue Hua Bing. Literally one of the best treats in Taiwan. And it isn't even mango season. That place I ate this at is world famous. They make the ice from mango, and it is soft and fluffy, almost like the stuff you can scrape off an ice rink with your skates. Then they put mangoes, kiwi, strawberries, and mango syrup on it and you just pass out with delight. There is nothing like it in this world. It is super expensive too, about US $6.
These rock paths are 'supposed' to be good for your feet. Healthy. Imagine walking 50 yards on rocks sticking up out of the ground, think about how your feet would feel, and then tell me it's 'healthy'. Uggg. Taiwanese health. They yell at you for being out in the rain because you will get sick. Literally. Yell. Another funny thing about Taiwan, if you are sick at all, you go to the hospital. So don't be surprised if in future emails I say I went to the hospital. Everyone here wears surgical masks for either allergies or colds or any other form of the plague. Sneeze without a surgical mask and you will be shot. The common question asked when you wear a surgical mask is "have you gone to the hospital yet?" No I haven't! I have a cold! They quite literally go to the hospital for colds, and doctors are not considered reputable unless they prescribe mediation. I'm not kidding. If they don't even prescribe at least acetaminophen, people WILL NOT go visit them. The Taiwanese are crazy about health. Craaaaaaaaazy (said in a Olaf voice).
Asian Ronald McDonald. They had a party at the McDonalds right outside our house yesterday.
this is what happens every time there is a red light. Granted, we are waiting because of construction, but all the motorscooters thread through the line of cars to get to the front, and then when the clock next to the red light hits 1, everyone hits the accelerator like in mario cart and goes ham.
sidewalks sparkle! They use some sort of material to make the sidewalks here that glimmers
