Taiwan is trying to kill us

Yesterday I went for dinner in the market place. There you will find several vendors with small stands cooking and selling various food items. I ate some fried chicken and it was delicious. After I ate the chicken I noticed the guy cooking it right there and was comforted at how freshly prepared the food was. That feeling quickly went away as I realized he used the same tongs to pick up the raw chicken as he did to move the cooked chicken. Afterwards we walked down the market and I was fish and chicken parts being cleaned in a giant bucket with a hose. I hope my ammunie system holds up here. As though that was not enought there is a Typhoon comming. It's a catagory 4 and in Taipei we will be getting catagory 2-3 winds and rain. After this trip I can say I have been to the biggest city, tallest building, largest country, and I have been through a Typhoon. Awsome! Also Katie and I are getting eaten alive by mosquitos...at least I hope the bites are not from spiders or bed bugs. But don't worry they are not getting in the way of having an awsome time.

P.S. The fruit here is amazing. Yesterday I had a grapefruit and honey juice drink.

I miss you all like crazy. So the other night there was nothing to do and no one to drink with. Mostly because everyone went home or was lame. And I thought to myself, if these Asian people were home, I wouldn't have to drink by myself. Point is, I miss you LOTS! even you Rachel.
