New things I've tried so far:

1. Chicken feet - they don't taste that different from the rest of the chicken, and there is actually some meat there.

2. Lots of fruit - dragon eyes, guava, cumquats, etc.

3. A bunch of other foods and drinks the names of which I can't remember - everyone is always feeding me! I tried Taiwanese ice cream (which is made differently than American ice cream so I'm not allergic to it!), clam soup, spicy cabbage, etc. etc. etc.

4. Yoga - felt good, but man it hurt! I don't think I was in a beginner's class, and if I was then I'm just pathetic. :P

5. Acupuncture - it looks freaky but it doesn't hurt a bit. I'm still not entirely sure why.

6. Waiting tables - I helped out at a little cafe yesterday.

7. Preserving fruit - see above!

8. Incognito modeling - people keep taking pictures of me, mostly without asking. I feel like a celebrity! Some people try to be sneaky about it, others don't even attempt to be undercover, and some that can speak a little English will approach and ask.

9. Showering Taiwan style - my parents will not believe this, but I actually took a 10 minute shower. Here, you have to do all of the work because there is no stationary shower head you can just stand under, which ultimately means I waste far less time.

10. Sleeping on a bamboo mat - surprisingly comfortable!

11. Being best friends with an inanimate object - the fan in my bedroom is my constant companion. It's HOT!

12. Chinese - I've only been here for two days, and I can already pick words and phrases out of other people's conversations. I'm starting to get the hang of the pronunciation too, so that when I talk I can sometimes actually be understood! Hooray! :D

13. Eating with chopsticks (and not cheating and using a fork) - I can actually do it now! You have to learn fast when it's the main utensil people eat with.

14. Riding in a car without a seat belt - okay, I know it's dangerous, but there's no law against it here and I had to do it once just to say I did.

15. Beer - it's an acquired taste. But I think I will be acquiring it, because apparently any kind of celebration around here involves alcohol!

16. Foregoing makeup entirely for several days straight - barely anyone bothers with it here, so I haven't been either. It's less hassle really.

17. Zombies vs. Plants - my host dad got me addicted in about 10 minutes.

Well, I think that's all the major things so far - more later!
