Halloween Party

I have been so busy this past while that I unfortunatly didn't have any time to post anything that required any amount of time longer than five minutes for me to put up. I have been busy studying chinese, going to class, carving pumpkins, buying contacts and of course - being sick!
Last last weekend (October 21st to be precise) Rotex held a Halloween party in Taipei for all of the exchange students! For those of you who don't know about Rotex (which I think I'm correct in assuming nobody does, or almost nobody), it is a group of people made up of former exchange students that are there to help out the current inbounders of Taiwan.
Since Taipei is an hour and a half away from Yilan and the party didn't start until six, we (all of the students from Yilan who went) decided to go up a little earlier and spend the day shopping and getting familiar with the MRT. We spent most of the day at a cosplay convention and McDonalds because it was really hot out. When it came close to the party time we hit the MRT and headed to meet the other exchange students.
The party was held in the basement of a nice American-style restaurant that served delicious food! There were quite a few exchange students as well as Rotex there - a lot of people even dressed up!
After the party was over I took the MRT to meet my friend Cecilia whom I stayed the night with. On Sunday I went shopping with her and took some of those cute little Japanese sticker photo's - I'll try to scan them and post them later. I took the train home myself from Taipei around five and actually managed to get off at the right stop at the right time! (a big accomplishment for me - thank you to everyone who helped though...)
The weekend was a lot of fun and the next week at school wasn't bad either. I carved pumpkins with my teachers and even got to go out and eat pizza for lunch! Enough chat now and time for the pictures which I"m sure you've already skipped ahead to anyway!

This was a long line that went the length of a sidewalk where people lined up to get into stores for special promotions
