Day 66 -- July 29

Class went for so long today. I can do three hours of Mandarin no problem, four makes  me tired but it is doable. Five and half makes me want to curl up into a ball. It was so much information at some point I shut my brain down and could not learn anymore. But it’s alright I made it through one way or another. After Class I met up with James and his buddy Scott. We were planning to meet up with Johnny at the Shilin night market. I got to meet a new friend, Bernadette. She has been studying in Japan and popped over for a visit of Taiwan. I had a great time hanging out with her. We kinda just wandered around Taipei for a little bit eating our way through. Now as you know I have been talking about going to Taizhong with James, Johnny and Scott. I leave tomorrow morning. I will have my Ipad with me so I will be keeping up my blog but I don’t have anyway to upload pictures so I will have one big post when I get back (or three smaller posts just to keep it manageable). I should be back Thursday my time so Wednesday night-ish for everyone else. It should be a lot of fun I am really looking forward to it. See you in a couple of days!

The paper is meant to wipe away the sweat but when you are Johnny that task is near impossible
