top 10 reasons why getting the flu in taiwan sucks.... 10. living with a damn outdoor market right behind you, where people start screaming at the top of their lungs promptly at 5AM. 9. the killer mosquitos that still come out during the warmer winters are still feasting on you. 8. it's somewhere close to election season, so people with megaphones are shouting even louder than the people at the outdoor market. 7. couldn't hang out with a bunch of friends who coincidentally all came to taiwan at the same time. (did have fun that one night before i got sick, but that was probably what got me sick) 6. can't hang out with my relatives because their all afraid that i'm going to get them sick 5. mom proposes that i wear one of those stupid sars masks. 4. can't play basketball against the little fobs anymore. 3. the condo above us is under construction, and the idiots busted a water pipe so that it leaks into one of our rooms, which causes it to smell like mildew. so when my brother came, my mom moved me into the mildew room from which i have concluded is one of the causes of my sickness. 2. my mom constantly nagging my ass diagnosing that the only cause of my sickness is "too much playing and not enough self control." 1. (my mom constantly nagging my ass diagnosing that the only cause of my sickness is "too much playing and not enough self control.") X 1000000000 0. this is just a general pet peeve. those damn mopedists/scooterists. i've been waiting for the right moment when one of them tries to cut in front us while we're walking across the crosswalk, and then i'm gonna give one good nudge and send it flying. other than that, i've had a great time in taiwan. and the food has been awesome. |
