As Opposed to Christmas.

Christmas eve....
A Wednsday, so we had all day culture class.
They (meaning the University Staff) put on a mini-chinese opera for us. They also made us lunch.
The afternoon we had caligraphy class, where we made our own stamps. I will admit that my "nube" didn't look superb, but it was a lot of fun.

As most of you know, Christmas is not a big holiday in Taiwan. So, as a kind of "Ode to Home" a group of about 13 of us YEP exchangees (Lara, Carlos, Memito, Jesús, Me, Constantin, Ayaka, Shane, Leo, Freya, Coline, and Thomas) ate a big Christmas dinner together.



Then, on Christmas, I had chinese class in the morning, and regular school in the afternoon. A few of my taiwanese classmates invited me and my friend, Mau, to hang out with them in Danshui. I can honestly say that so far has been my best experience with Taipei students. We walked around by the river and set off fireworks.
I regrettably didnt take any pictures, but it was bunches of funn.
