Katherine and Emily

On a hot sunny day, the sweat rolled down my body. Although this was just a two minute walk. The sun was blazing as hot as ever, and the wind, well there really was no wind. The temperature so high that I think you can cook an egg on the street(well that is actually impossible with the raging motorcycles and cars rushing left and right, forward and backward). When I finally got into McDonalds, I was so happy that there was air conditioning. While my mom ordered a nice, cold sundae and some delicious nuggets, I went to find Katherine and her little sister, Emily. Katherine and Emily are one of the few people in my school that knows how to speak English as well as I do. When I finally found them in the really packed Mcdonalds, I greeted them and they greeted me. Soon after that my mom had gotten the order and brought it to the table. There were also fries in the order. I ate slowly and talked to Katherine(BTW to all who are reading this she is not my girlfriend, I repeat she is not my girlfriend... well maybe I like her a little but what's the big deal?).  Her little sister was sort of annoying though but I got used to it eventually(I think). Anyways they brought some toys to play and I played with them. There was a toy where you need to put on this helicopter top and you pulled this string really hard(but not to hard or it might break) and it would fly out. Her sister brought a more original toy but overall we had fun. Today was a fun and nice day and i can't wait to play with them again.

Taiwanese Tea Farm

On Sunday 9:00 a.m., I went to a Taiwanese Tea Farm. Most of the people here are from my school. At the tea farm, the first thing we did was signing your name on a sheet of paper so that you can get some tea for free(or I think for free). After that my friends showed me how to play a Taiwanese yo-yo that they bought at school. Soon after that we went to pick tea leaves. The tea leaves you had to pick needed to have a heart and two leaves. I was glad when when I got a lot of them, but my friend collected two times as much. When a few bags were filled, I was exhausted. I was sweating like crazy. At last, it was time to eat. We ate on a little grill and had to put up the fire ourselves. There were six different groups, all of them had the same supplies but at different places. My group was near the tea leaves fields. My friend wanted to did everything that my dad wouldn't let me do. I was really angry that I couldn't do those things such as light the fire and put in some coal. At last, things worked out. The things we ate were mostly fish balls. All I ate were three pieces of meat. At the end of the day everyone took a picture together with the packs of tea. It was a nice day and overall I pretty much liked the tea farm and i am hoping to go again soon.

Science Mueseum

My friends and I went to the science museum. The first thing we were doing was going to buy a movie ticket. I don't know why but at soon after my mom said that we shouldn't. We went to the children section of the museum where there were these things like lego. I made a fish while my two other friends made a tree and a dog. Meanwhile, my friends' mom (auntie Mendy) went to check around and found a shop full of airplanes. The airplanes were made of styrofoam but flew pretty well. The shopkeeper told us we could take them out to play because there was more space. Unfortunately, I accidentally threw the plane to an unreachable place. The shopkeeper says it was okay. So I went back to the inside of the store. Then my friend threw the airplane onto the top of a light. The problem was that it was stuck there. So my friend paid the money and cried a bit. Then my mom bought an egg for me. If you put the egg in water it was supposed to crack and then a baby dinosaur comes out. You let it stay in water then it would grow. My friend wanted this preserved beetle, and it was really disgusting. Then he saw this really disgusting thing. It was a pigeon sliced in half so you could see the inside of it. At the end of the say My mom, dad and I went to this night market and then went home.
