So much time, so little to say.

My summer trip to Taiwan 2011 is coming to a close. So much happened in these two weeks but most events bring me a very bittersweet feeling.

Second week:

Monday I met up with two elementary friends and chatted about our future and dreams. That night I appreciated my life in America because it sounded like students who work super hard in Taiwan don’t necessarily get good opportunities after graduation. It hit me more this time because I actually saw it through the friends in the same elementary class as me. What if I didn’t go to America? Would I have ended up just like them? Yes.

Tuesday I met with Tiffany and talked so so much about our thoughts as Taiwanese immigrants and our opinions on cross culture frustration. HOT POT WAS GOOD, FOOT MASSAGE HURT! NOW I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO MARRY A MAN WHO’S NOT ABUSIVE. Massage really hurt… and a fat man gave me the massage… starting to hate taiwanese fat guys…

Wednesday, what did I do? It was a free day but I rearranged some things in dad’s place to make it more neat. 

Thursday, yesterday! I met with Sarah. Caught up a bunch. Feels like a lot of people go through the same emotions when it comes to relationship… misery always makes company. I also got sad because she told me her frustrations and hope to go to US for grad school. Maybe it is a bigger world in the US, but I have to say I still get empty feelings despite growing up in America. Plus, there’s always narrow minded people everywhere… anyhwere. Then I went to grandma’s birthday dinner. Sushi was not that great… grandma was happy though so… it’s all good! Super glad I got to spend time with sarah though, we’ve all grown so much~

Today I met with Hailey! and Mario (plus his girlfriend) the lunch was slightly awkward because I couldn’t understand Mario’s spanish accent and we didn’t know his girlfriend. I spent the rest of the afternoon with Jamie though… talked so much  about everythang! She really got me started thinking about visiting Korea and getting involved with the culture. I think i’mma try understanding the entire Asian culture more (no not Asian American culture). 

We saw 那些年，我們一起追的女孩 at 101. That movie felt so anti climatic but in the end I was touched. I guess despite the slow paced directing, the message did get across. It had so much meaning and I am sure the book revealed it better. Now I am rather sad. Damn, feel as though my life just started because of college but at the same time that my youthful days are truly over and never to come back again. I miss the innocent times before college when all of us were so wild… 

I think tonight I’ll cry when I go to sleep. About the movie and about leaving Taiwan.
