sorry for the lack of updates. i seem to always do a lot of consecutive postings, then stop for a while, do a random one again and then do another giant group. oh well, hopefully ya’ll are still with me! anyway, here are some tasty foods:

at our stinky tofu stand, almost getting hit by cars. the fear of dying always makes it taste better

the garlic was amazing

pizza time

it was surprisingly good

it even came with all these sides! (fried shrimp, onion rings, buffalo wings and TOTS!)

indian burritos at shi lin

curry chicken burrito was so good (no seriously, come to taiwan for the indian burritos)

a hakka restaurant just opened across the street from our place…it’s literally RIGHT there. i could open our window and yell my order in if i wanted, haha. not very many places over here where we can get an awesome family style dinner, so we’re there quite often

some beef and intestines

god i love fried shrimp

i love these 2 haha

also got some potential exciting things happening for The Looking Glass but i’ll fill everyone in on the details when they’re more final! just know that we’re making some progress

hello everybody. we’ve now been in taiwan for almost 2 weeks now and it’s been really awesome. it’s weird though because, whenever we came here the past 2 years, it was for vacation. we were only here for a limited amount of time so we always tried to squeeze in as much activities as possible which always lead to a lot of pictures and stories etc. but this time is different because we actually LIVE here, so we’ve just sort of been living life the last 2 weeks.

annie started teaching at her school so she’s gone most of the day while i hang out here in our apartment, working on our music stuff and occasionally going out to just walk around and explore our area. it’s really nice to know that we aren’t always pressured to have to go to this night market and have to eat this food. it’s so much more relaxed. sometimes it’s just nice to lounge around in the apartment and watch a movie while eating food from the place we can almost see right outside our window. life is good.

i start school tomorrow which will mean i won’t be home all day anymore, haha. i’m super excited to start class because i’m going in with a completely different mindset before. when i was on EAP a couple years ago, i came in with absolutely no real previous chinese experience but this time, i’m here with plenty of experience and i look forward to the challenge.

you still with me? i know, i’m sorry, i don’t usually write that much on here but don’t worry, here are some pictures –

this pic is hard to see but notice all the people wearing their work clothes, standing outside, doing jumping jacks to get pumped up for their work day, pahaha

i gotta find a place to play…pronto

new glasses! (i’m jealous)

yeah fried man

best thing to eat when it’s 95 degrees / 100% humid

hang out with daphne time

i was peeing and i saw this…

nooo don’t go back to canada

not so sober

i said it once and i’ll say it again, i need a better camera, haha.

anyway, i know most of you are probably sick and tired of seeing all my status updates on facebook about the band and could probably do without another plug, but i’m sorry, we just need as many youtube/myspace views as possible to beef up our street cred, you know how it is

see our music video (now with lyrics!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax4V7DtlfSw

visit our myspace (now listen to the whole album!): http://www.myspace.com/TheLookingGlassTW

kbye!
