In the morning, went to lunch for Teacher's Day at a pseudo buffet place in Chung-Li. Some of Professor Liau's alumni were there too. It was a fancier place, where you order all the food you want (within 45min) so I got to try some new foods. I was getting annoyed though because the guys always say you can only speak english to me, but I keep saying I want to learn Chinese. I think more of the frustration is that I'm just not good enough at Chinese to be able to only speak Chinese to them. The guy and his girlfriend were sitting next to me and the girl (Lisa) was nice to me and tried her best English to learn about me. Then the guy (Wei Wen) would ask about what we were saying in Chinese and like discuss it, as if I didn't understand. It was really annoying. Later when Stephen was just talking to me, he interrupted and was like haha, you have to find the guy with the best English and assign him to talk to her. I wanted to punch him in the face. Later Stephen wanted to go to Sogo, (a big dept store that was across the street) because I had never been there. The rest of the guys decided they wanted to go back to the lab so then Stephen was gonna just go back too, but then Wei Wen was like we're gonna go so just come along so we went. I wasn't very happy about that, but Lisa was very nice, so then it turned out fine. There was a whole floor of stuff on sale (yay!) and I ended up getting a pretty skirt. I was about to not because I didn't want to spend a lot of money ($680 = $20US) but then I heard the girl ask, why doesn't she want to spend money, and I was like...true...and just bought it. Now I have to buy sandals to match though lol. Oh well. Then I went back to school and just fell asleep til dinnertime. I met up with Johnny and the only place open was the vegetarian stand under the dorm so we ate there. Some of it was ok...but some not so much, so I'm hungry again now. Then we went to the library because I need to catch up on my Kinetics. On the way back I ran into Christophe and we talked for an hr! Now I made a small bowl of ramen and there's little pig heads in it!
