Holiday Travels

Happy New Year everybody! so i just came back from taiwan/shenzhen/hong kong and i had an alright time there. i think it's becoz i was travelling with my family which made it extremely boring but i got to spend some quality time with the parentals, my sister, my aunt and my grandfather.

so i was pretty much visiting temples and villages in taiwan, it wasnt as cold as i expected it to be. it was horribly boring there, my baby was alright with me going to this club called...Funky i think. wow talk about dodgy. clubs which are located at the basement level playing chinese songs at 250bpm...yeah that's what i call dodgy. actually i could imagine going down there and having a drink with friends IF i had any there, maybe that was the IT factor which made it utterly boring, i had no friends there and plus i was travelling with my family. so x-mas eve and x-mas day came and went, taipei i found wasnt exactly really popular with bars but they love their karaoke. so a suggestion for future travellers going to taiwan, make sure u got friends there and dont expect much apart from moderately good food unless u like visiting temples.

shenzhen came and went as well, there was nothing much to do there as my mother was shopping for curtains which i had to carry from the shop down to my hotel. with an aching back and sprained foot i do not advise anyone to go through what i went through. anyways where i stayed there was alot of prostitution going on, gigolos and prozzies are bold, they would come up to u and ask u in chinese whether u wanted to be "happy". hahaha now the highlight of the whole shenzhen trip is watching my grandfather get harrassed by them, harrassed meaning they followed him around and asked him for "happiness" and his phone number. hahaha!

hong kong was good. i met up with erica and zen and kei kei and anna. it was pretty cool but i only got to see them for a day coz we stayed there for only 2 days. yeah but throughout the whole holiday i was missing my baby loads. i won this monkey doll and dressed him up like my marcus and slept with it throughout the whole time i was there. anyways i gotta run, update ya next time diary!

there are days when i wish i could read and speak mandarin, today is one of those days. when i see the garden variety of chinese people speaking dialects that i havent even heard of and laughing i feel a sense of regret that i never bothered to learn proper chinese when i was a little child.

anyways going to taiwan aint gonna be a problem, i still think my chinese could get to me places and the international middle finger can express any anger or frustration that i accumulate whilst in taiwan.

ohhh i cant wait for taiwan, it's gonna be cold, it's gonna be good, it's gonna be pretty, and that's just me! hahaha gosh my sense of humour doesnt do me any justice does it? i hope i bump into david tao there. huahahaha wishful thinking but still it could happen! i swear i could just jump on him and bite him on his neck and eat stuff off of him...gahhhh.....*drool* oops. went off a little tangent there. heehee i think i need to use the loo~
