So far, I have very little to do here save eat and watch TV. I've also been going to calligraphy lessons and cooking lessons with my mom, both of which are very fun, although my calligraphy is still pretty ugly. For cooking, we learned how to make Dong Po pork, salty eggs with pumpkin, pipa tofu, some stewed meat, winter melon tomato soup, and bao.
As you all can probably tell, I've also been mainlining dramas like mad. I just found out that Blockbuster charges by every two episodes as opposed to per disc, grrrr. Still, cheaper than buying and faster than downloading. Also, it makes me practice my Chinese (subtitles for the kdramas, spoken for the cdramas). I've decided not to keep watching the Taiwan Hana Kimi, as it seems to be the same thing over and over, and I am much less invested in Sano's high jumping than in restauranteering. I also caught an episode of the Taiwan Honey and Clover, and I think I will also not watch that, as the actress who plays Hagu has an incredibly annoying fake baby voice, and as they seem to be putting in more romance twists. The humor works better in animation as well.
And now, giant pictures of food! And some scenery. But mostly food.
