day 12

slept in again. it's become habit. karen arrived around 1 p.m. to take us to a vegetarian buffet.

oh. my. god. food again. AHHHHHHHHHH (though very good food)

so we tried a lot of different things and steamed buns etc that all tasted yummy. next? CAKES. we sampled 6 different types of cakes and then each ate a piece of our favorites. awful! then we tried different flavors of ice creams, too. afterwards, we felt super unhealthy so ate some healthy stuff like fruit and salad. my aunt brewed me a "slimming tea." you know you're getting fat when your AUNT brews you a SLIMMING TEA.

We also drank some of the almond tea again. It's so amazing, not kidding. It smells so good, like cherries, and we both bought some to take home.

A lot of today was riding in the car, and walking around Taipei in the rain. We went through Da'an park, which would have been really nice if it hadn't been such a gray day. And we also visited a supermarket, oogled the bread selection (looked yummy) and took pictures of strange foods. Like pig's heart.

And that's really been it..right now we're at Steph's Aunt Karen's, and we've been updating for the last couple of hours.

for your viewing pleasure.

tomorrow we're going to go to the National Palace Museum and Longshan Temple, so hopefully the weather is good!

all right. catch you all later.
