I spent Sunday afternoon evening with a couple of Taiwanese mates. Yay. For all the time I've been in Taiwan, I've done very little socialising with Taiwanese people.

From right to left is:
Me
Monica, my friendly language exchange partner
Patrick, a really cool guy (he rides mountain bikes for fun and sells them for a living)
Michelle, Patrick's girlfriend and my friend from work, who introduced me to everyone else in the photo
One of Monica's friends from University, is behind Michelle and his girlfriend is to the left of Michelle (on Michelle's right).
We had a good time lurking at Taichung's sculpture park, listening to msic and then hitting and throwing baseballs at a brand new automated baseball practice facility. It's like a a golf driving range for baseball, which is pretty much the most popular sport in Taiwan, along with basketball. Posted by Hello

No, but I wish I could! I'm going to Chinese lessons at the moment, but it's slow going with my busy work schedule.

Thanks for the comment!

Tell us something about the food on the table in this pic. How're you adapting to Taiwanese food and what are your favourite dishes when eating out? Cooking at your flat?

This was a really traditional restuarant. We went there for the pearl milk tea, which is apparantly the restaurant's speciality. Along witht the tea, there were some traditional snacks as well.
