Can't hold it in any longer! I'M GOING TO TAIWAN ON FRIDAY!!! I originally wrote it in mandarin in my last post but I don't think anyone took the time to translate it XD. So pumped!!!
I've been taking chinese for 3 years now and we kept talking about the possibility of a trip to china or taiwan. And this year its finally happening!!! Because of it I have 15+ new friends on facebook seeing as a lot of students from DaWan Highschool, the school we're going to, are adding us americans as friends. I talked to the girl from my host family on facebook. and looked at pictures of her, she's really cute and nice. All of them hvae really good english which is good cause my chinese is really bad.
super super excited. been thinking about it 24/7 for the past week. Friday we leave school, go to the airport, get on a plane to LA, Then to Korea, then to TAIWAN!!!
lol we have a play we have to practice, we're going to be practicing in the airports. One of the other peeps said we should leave out a cup and see if people give us tips
Videogames and Comics
So first off would be news. The Elder scrolls 5: Skyrim!! super pumped. if you like oblivion then you should watch this:
this is an edit of the theme I did when I couldn't find a version I liked :).
second is Comics:
I have two ideas for continuing fan comics. One has to do with my first thing I showed you. Its a spoof of oblivion called Oblivious. and the second is a more serious storyline manga. So I wanna start Oblivious right away but The storyline manga is going to take some writing so i'll get back to you with that.
oh and on an extra note:
我要去台湾星期五！
if you need help: translate it here

Zozobra 2010!
I think I should do this every year because it really brings out the culture of where I live.
Every year on the second week of September a 30ft marionette called Zozobra ("old man Gloom") is put up on a giant pole in front of a large park where thousands of people from our city gather to watch them BURN IT TO THE GROUND.
Zozobra represents all the sadness and worry from the previous year and every year you watch your worries and troubles go down in flames. Its lots of fun to go and they always do loads and loads of fireworks inside and outside the puppet. you can hear him moaning and yelling in pain and fear as they burn him. Its always packed and everybody's usually high or drunk but its lots of fun.
This is a video I took of the event. Its low quality and shaky. we arrived at 6:30 and I got home at 11:30. The actual burning takes about 5 minutes. but its the 3-4 hour buildup is totally worth it.
Zozobra has become a kind of infamous event in my city because of the amount of drunkards afterward. Last year I believe someone died because of a drunk brawl and there are always rumors of gangs coming to shoot up the event. Security is Tight, you have to buy a ticket and last year my friend got shoved up against a wall and fully patted down because of the way he was dressed. I saw someone getting patted down this year too. It usually ends well though. You have to have a lot of stamina to go to Zozobra, you wait for hours in crowds and afterward walk for ages after you've been standing for hours. Some say its not worth it.
I say its all up to who your with and other factors.
