My mosquito-bite ridden face. Remember that this is only HALF of my face. And there was MORE bites after this picture was taken too. Blech.


My cutey-patooty grandmother who's 86. If I can be like her when I'm her age, I'll be happy.


Chinese New Year's dinner with the family.

I tried to take pictures of people here to give an idea of the fashion statements in Taiwan.

People here dress up a lot more than in America. Notice the stockings. People wear them with EVERYTHING. This model is wearing it w/ flats, but they also wear it with boots, sneakers, etc. They have these stockings of all colors. Full-lined garments are also quite the rage.

Here's a sickening thin girl. So many people who look like this. It makes me wanna puke. Watching music videos here also makes me sick. I hate how they promote such unhealthiness and anorexia in females here. I, on the other hand, have been eating like a pig. I gained 1 kilo today. I weighed myself this morning, then when I got back. Seriously, I gained a full 1.0 kilos.
