well im finally back after almost a month of vacationing. Well first the plane ride to Japan (wwhich we took from there to taiwan) was soo loong it took like 18 hours to get there about. Taiwan was alot of fun. Basically imagin a cramed streets with shops on either sides with a bunch of mopeds driving throught it and an occasional car or 2 going through. Then mix in a bunch of amazing parell parkers, nasty bathrooms, stop lights that are considered optional and there you have it citys in taiwan. We went up to the mountain homes off an orphanage going through these six huge tunnels (legend has it that it was made by turtles.) The guy that brought uss there would turn off the lights in some part of the tunnels to freak us out. He turned the head lights off right when you could of hit the wall of a dead end but he safely turned. At the orphanage there was a huge welcoming crowd cheering and singing. I was pretty suprised i didn’t know that they were going to do this whole celebration. They gave us flowers  (it was awkward) and we sat down in front of the basketball court and watch there aberingeny dancing. After we ate dinner with Rachel which is a 19 year old girl which my mom and dad is supporting to college. They made all these dishes for us to eat. When we finished we were lead down to the church for more performing. Inside the chapel we heard singing, saw more dancing, which was funny because of the little kids. Then pretty late at night we went to the guest house where there was plenty of AC ( it was really hot and humid there) Our trip in taipea was fun too. Our family stayed with a couple who has two sons. Leo and Sam, leo was about 5 years old he was a funny lil kid that was really hyper at times but he ws really funny and Sam was quiet but a really   smart kid. The only thing i would complain about taiwan is the beds and the bathrooms.. The beds were so  hard. The first 2 nights i slept on the floor with this small blanket under me that gave my brother and i back pains. When you sleep on a bed there these bamboo mats under which are rock hard. I don’t know how they sleep at night. I went to one of the bathrooms where you squat and poop into this hole in the ground, then  you pole this rope and it flushes it…pretty nasty  since i has some stomache problems in taiwan. My bro and my sis went to the night market there and they saw this game where you scoup up the fish with this paper net, alot they  siad there was a buncha getto stuff there and alot of junk but it was alot of fun. That is about what  we did in taiwan. I’v decided to make each trip a different entry so you guys won’t get too bored.  

today  i woke up around 12 i got jetlag
