Today we went to a 17 storey shopping mall. We went to the bookshop there and bought a few books using the book vouchers Arthur's mom gave us.
Haha today is a good day because we bought 2 international bestsellers, Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian and Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner. With these books, the 4 hours plus ride to Taipei on Thursday will be much more fun. Haha. After shopping, we went to watch The Prestige. Yes yes yes it’s very late but how can you blame us? We were busy studying for exams when the show was out. Haha. The theatre was the same standard as those in Singapore. Actually, I knew the entire plot and story already, so I was trying to spoil it for Arthur. The show was great and it’s a bit scary that the guy killed himself every night. Arthur is actually quite sharp because he spotted were actually twins. He said they have the same smile.
After the show, we walked to a famous night market selling clothes and bags etc. There wasn't many people at that place, which was good news for us. After a while, I realised that the things they sold were the same in every shop and it got very tiring after a while. Sorry, we’re not seasoned shoppers that go shopping for like 5 hours non-stop. Haha. We didn’t really buy much, I got a Bermudas and Arthur got a shirt and coat. His mom said that he looked like a girl in the coat because he looked so thin. We shopped for about 2 hours and took a bus to some terminal. We were lucky and the bus came in 3 minutes. After that, we got off at the terminal and we met his dad, who was also waiting for the same bus. How coincidental. The second bus came in like 3 seconds. The supposedly 1 hour plus bus journey took less than half an hour. Wow. The bus can’t be compared to Singapore, but it’s not that bad either. His mom picked us up from the bus stop and we grabbed some food from 7-11.
Taiwanese love convenience stores. There are like zillions of convenience shops around. Every 50 metres you can see a shop. Arthur says because you can pay bills, buy food and receive letters there. Anyway, we ate some seaweed rice thing that was really delicious. It’s probably due to the fact that we didn’t eat dinner because his mom bought so much popcorn for us during the movie. Oh, the transportation system in Taiwan is not as well developed as Singapore and people travel mostly by motorbikes. The traffic rules are not very strict either and motorcycles can move even though its red light...
I think my English is getting worst because I don’t even want to read what I wrote. I bet its rubbish and grammatically incorrect, but its supposed to be casual. But whatever, its late already so goodnight.
