Days 6 and 7

So yeah, I'm just squeezing them into one post.

Which will be updated later. Feeling lazy and in the mood for a good midday drunk.

Edit:　just found out that there's no open container law in Taiwan. fuck yes.

-Update-

Day 6

I stayed home, played Wii sports, and took a break.

Then at night, my cousin took me to Ximen-Ding, which is basically where all the somewhat cool kids hangout/shop/go to see movies. The prices were actually pretty good. For everything. Bags were 20 bucks-ish, and movies were ridiculously cheap: 220 for a ticket, ten more gets you a drink. WHICH IS AMAZING CONSIDERING HOW AMERICA RAPES YOU IN EVERY BODY CAVITY POSSIBLE AT THE MOVIES.

But yeah, we window shopped a little, watched Salt at a movie theater (on the 9th floor of a building. These theaters were teeny tiny.) Sidebar: The move isn’t called “Salt” in Chinese.

After, we ate at a ramen place where I got squarely kicked in the nads by spicy-ness. And then I picked up a MMA flyer for an event on August first. Judging from TV and the ads, MMA is starting to get some popularity. The prices are still mad cheap--30 USD (1000 NT) for ringside AND a drink. Fuck me sideways.

But yeah, after, we headed to Bitan, which has a beautiful nighttime scene. It’s located on a river, and very very romantic. Couples getting their fuck on everywhere. It was both endearing and saddening, because I didn’t have anyone to cuddle with. So I had to make do with what I had. I got my drink on. It was great.

Day 7

Stayed home, played Wii sports, and took another break.

In the afternoon, I went to Huaxi Snake Alley. Apparently this town used to be mad gangster (a gangster movie was even filmed here this year, Monga. I watched it..not bad.) and was also famous for its prostitutes. Hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Not so hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah was the fact that this alley is named Snake Alley because vendors sell snakes. And as some of you know, I fucking hate snakes. The fuckers creep me out. But apparently Asian people eat them/drink their soup/whatever in order to increase their virility. And then they get their fuck on at the whorehouses behind Snake Alley. Fuck snakes. Give me Viagra anyday.

But yeah, walking through Snake Alley was like walking through the Valley of Death. The Valley of Creepy, Slithering, Venomous Death. I pretty much had a panic attack for ten minutes.
Fortunately, there were only a few snake shops open since it was midday.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see any hookers. Sad day.
