Garbage trucks in Taiwan do, in fact, play music like ice cream trucks. Unlike ice cream trucks though, which only pass every couple of weeks for a few minutes and bring joy to the heart, the garbage trucks do loops every morning for about an hour. Every. Single. Morning. Right during personal study. The tune is going to haunt my dreams.
We found an incredible investigator the other day at a 7-11. Her name is Sylvia and she's in her 20s, and she's adorable. We started a conversation with her, and she basically invited herself on a tour of our chapel. When she came, she decided to stay for our English class, so we had time to teach her a short lesson. She's super excited to learn more, and we can't wait to meet with her again.
Taiwan has fruit markets on just about every corner, and they're incredible. The fruit's super cheap and delicious, and we get it year round. In addition to whole fruit, they also sell boxes of cut fruit for 100 kuai/ 4 boxes or 30 kuai for one. One day we each got two boxes of fruit and a couple of baozi and had an incredible feast.
I got this mystery fruit from the market, and we have no idea what it is. It was kinda sweet, with big black seeds that made it very difficult to eat. Anyone have any ideas about what it is? we're not allowed to google.
We found Kraft mac and cheese at a grocery store, and made ourselves a feast of mac and cheese, mango, and mystery fruit. We're eating in the bedroom because it's the only room in our apartment with air conditioning.
Taiwan at night is incredible. There are tons and tons of flashing lights and signs, and cars and motorcycles. It's gorgeous. I tried to capture the magic with my camera, but unfortunately my tiny point and shoot couldn't measure up to the job.
We spend a lot of time waving to people as we ride past and having mini conversations with motorcyclists at stoplights.
Sister Smith and I have matching dresses (same dress, different pattern) so we decided to be super cute and match.
Sorry this is so short, I totally ran out of time. I'll be sure to write more next week!
Love you all!
Sister Hull
