• a friend visits taiwan

  I haven’t written in this thing in so long. That’s what happens when you get older…less time for writing.

  Guess who came to Taiwan and I got to meet up with this friend?

  Sharon Cheng!

  She is currently in Taiwan with her parents and we met up on Friday to hang out! Our first date in Taiwan. Fun!

  First we went to PAUL, my favorite bakery, for some snacks. It was a warm afternoon and we had two desserts – yum! We had macaroons, but we weren’t sure if they’re the same macaroons as the U.S…tasted a bit different.

  Anyways, I took Sharon bra-shopping after wandering around for a while. Wacoal it was! It is probably one of my favorite brands…next to Triumph. I got to see Sharon in her bra…but so did the sales lady. No big deal really. Fun times. Bra shopping in Taiwan is awesome.

  For dinner, we went to Very Thai Restaurant (weird name, I know). Irene and her boyfriend, Elvis, joined us. I know, his name is really Elvis. You know how crazy Taiwanese are. Geez, my cousins named themselves Peach, Bubble…yeah, I don’t get it either. The food was good, but the cocktail choices were limited. They only had Mojito. So what did we do? We went across the hall to Chili’s and ordered three margaritas pre-dinner. Yeah!!! When we went back to Very Thai when the table was ready, we each ordered a Mojito. Too bad the mojito was too sweet.

  After dinner, we went to Room 18. We were planning to go to Spark @ 101 at first, but we heard the cover was NT$1000, so there goes that plan. Room 18′s cover was $700 and that covered two drinks…so hey, why not. Our bartender was cool and gave us good service. Grey Goose shot w/ cranberry juice for chaser. It was not enough for me, so we went back and got a shot of Absinthe. I’ve never had that…and boy, that thing was strong. 67% alcohol?!?! We might as well be drinking just rubbing alcohol. The taste was a bit minty, so I guess it was better than rubbing alcohol. Our stomaches were churning after that shot and dancing actually helped!

  Left the club at 2am-ish…and that wrapped our night!

  Thanks Sharon for calling me to meet up. It was fun!
