Taiwan Day 1

I thought I would try this whole blog thing and update people on how our trip in Taiwan and Korea is going. It's Friday morning here and we're finally over all of our jetlag after I literally almost fell asleep walking down the street yesterday after 25 hours of straight travel and only 4 hours of sleep the first night here. (I'm serious, I fell asleep on the train every time we took it, and my knees buckled while standing at a street corner because I fell asleep!)

I'm putting a link to our pictures down below, here's a brief summary of what you are looking at.
Hotel room, pictures of Taiwan from Kelles apartment roof, red playhouse, partyworld karoke place, random shots of street, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, making paper, long shan temple

Highlights of the trip so far
1. Sitting in the middle two seats on a 14 hour plane ride over here
2. Laura getting looked at funny when people try to talk to her and she just smiles and says sorry
3. Watching Kelles argue with a taxi driver within our first hour here
4. All of the Taiwanese girls that want to take their picture with me
5. Walking down snake alley and seeing a snake gutted and just hanging out
6. Eating snails, clams, dried duck, squid, and other foods (yes, I tried most of these as well)
7. Laura salivating at $8 dollar shoes on every corner
8. Paper making, yes paper making. Laura's choice very exciting.
9. Still getting coffee at Starbucks

That's all for now, we're going out for day 2, I'll try to keep this updated as I can.
