Not too much happened yesterday. After class, G and I took a three hour nap. By the time I showered and was ready to go it was 4pm. We went to the front desk and tried to tell the woman that we wanted to go to the Friday's South of here, but they didn't know where it was. So we flagged down a cab (actually it just stopped for us) and pointed to Downtown on a map. The cab driver asked G something and G said we are students in Taiwan. He seemed to understand that. He dropped us off in front of the tallest building and we did our best to find the restaurant. We circled around it and finally found it. Again it was nice to eat "normal" food, although we felt bad avoiding native food. Down the street was a large Internet cafe. Inside almost all of the computers were taken which kids playing internet games and yelling at each other and themselves. No on else was checking email or anything. We spent about an hour there telling everyone how different Taiwan is from Japan.
We realized it was 6:15 and we had class at 7pm. Moving quickly through Taiwan was easier than in Japan, but it was still pretty difficult. I felt bad because I don't know how to say "excuse me" in Chinese. We almost ran to the subway station and almost didn't make it into the over-packed train. There was less room than in Tokyo. People were actually pushing on people to pack them in tighter and squeeze just one more person on the train. Six stops later and we sprinted to class. The rest of the night we spend studying, and I fell asleep early.
