This past weekend I went to 美麗華百樂園 (Miramar Entertainment Park). It’s a mall in in Taipei that has a ferris wheel on the roof. I believe it was a film site for “Why Why Love” among some other Asian dramas. Call me a nerd but I actually was super psyched to see this place. It was cool for me to walk around and be like, “Oh yeah, I remember seeing this in this scene.” And why wouldn’t I be excited to see a giant ferris wheel attached to a shopping mall? The ride on the ferris wheel was kind of pricey, 150 NT for a 20 minute or so ride but I really enjoyed it. I felt really content that day even though I got attacked by an army of mosquitoes while sitting outside Starbucks that evening.

It’s been raining for the past couple days now. Yesterday after class, the rain got steadily harder and harder as I walked down the hill toward the girls’ dorms When you mix heavy rain with wind, the umbrella becomes almost useless…at least your head still stays relatively dry. I met a little friend on the way…

I hope to make a “Day in the Life of Melody in Taiwan” soon, complete with pictures and hopefully videos soon. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now but I keep forgetting to utilize the camera.
