Sigh... Goodbye Taiwan!

Last day in Taiwan!!! :( So sad. Who knows when the next time I'll be coming back to Taiwan now. Time to grow up and get a job. Get on with my life. -_- Anyways, last few pictures at the TTT banquet from Betty's camera! :)

The interns at Ta Hwa! Gare-Bear! Hahah

Me and my lovely roommates!

Come visit Texas!!! :) Nah, I'll come visit California instead!

Met up with another person from Couchsurfing! His name is Adam and he's from Virginia! His Chinese is better than mine! We went to go eat some shaved ice, dinner and then shoot some pool! On the way, we saw these teeny weeny little dogs on the street that were for sale.

MONEY MONEY MONEY! Euros look kinda like fake monopoly money....hahah.

Last time meeting up with Cindy! We went to eat some hibachi near National Tsing Hua University! Then some yummy starbucks. Later that night, she took me to go watch the best movie of the year! :) 那些年, 我們一起追的女孩!

Ate dinner with the grandparents at Island Cafe (海島) which is right next to where we live on 東山街!

Then came up to Taipei and wandered around Danshui with 妹妹 for a bit~

Discovered that my love is not only in Shilin night market, but also here in Danshui as well! :) So I got one... of course! They also have one in Hsinchu now, too!!! Yippeee!

<3 <3 <3 Love this movie. I'm so crazy about it right now!

My favorite combination at 鮮芋仙. It's got sweet potatoes (地瓜), tapioca pearls, 芋園, and 薏仁! Delicious!

Then rode on the Maokong Gondolas again with Aimee, Mimi and Mimi's friend! Went to the same cafe as last time with my parents! This is Aimee's cold brew Ooolong Tea~ 

I like to take pretty pictures! :)

I got a beef lasagna!

Mimi and Aimee shared a dessert platter. Fake macaroons in the middle! Blegh. Tiramisu and cheesecake on the bottom and fruit on top!

My 芒果冰沙!!! Yummm

Yayyyy!!! :)

Trying to do a cat pose!

Meowwrrrr ;)

So cute~

Wow, I can't believe how fast time flies. The day for Italy is almost here. At the beginning I was all like, ah, it's okay. I got all summer to prepare. BUT now that it's actually here, I'm kind of freaking out.

Oh well, most of my trip I'm just going to wing it. In my Rick Steve's book that I bought, he said "Accept Italy as Italy. Zero in on the fine points. Don't dwell on the problems. Savor your cappuccino, dangle your feet over a canal (if it smells, breathe through your mouth), and imagine what it was like centuries ago. Write a poem over a glass of local wine in a sun-splashed, wave dashed Riviera village. If you fall off your moral horse, call it a cultural experience. Italy is for romantics."

Ahhh, Love it! Thanks Rick Steve's!!! I'm definitely a romantic. A completely and utterly hopeless romantic. I think I'll just enjoy myself peacefully in Italy. I'll come back looking tanner, fatter, and prettier! ;) Heehee
