The main languages are Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese. I have learned a few words in Amis, which is the language of a local aboriginal tribe.
We use the New Taiwan Dollar.
I have started to buy giant bottles of water, which cost me about $1.50 USD.
This past week I went to an amazing sushi restaurant. Lucky for me, it is much cheaper to eat sushi here than at home, so I ate a bunch!
This week I listened to some good ol' country music from Zac Brown Band.
Some friends from a different county came to visit, and we went on a longer scooter ride through the mountains and hiked to a natural hot spring!
I recently finished Sons and Soldiers, which is a book about troops during World War II.
The sixth grade at my school is preparing for a basketball tournament, so I met them out at lunch to practice shooting and drills.
