David and Anthony sitting on a bench outside Flora's at 5.30am on Xmas morning...man dah gah you were passed out man~~~!!

Christmas is over here comes the New Year...its crazy man its crazy!!!~~~

Well people, it has been as usual a crazy time since I last updated this blog. Since that time I have been advised that blogs were actually started by homosexual people, which is a interesting fact...I think it was Anthony who told me that. Cheers bruv!

My darling sister Lucy sent me a most random package. When my house mate gave it too me my first thought was OOOOOOHHHHH a pair of Icecreams!? Nope box too small...anything bape!? Nope Lucy would have said something before. After 15 minutes of struggling with the package it was opened and inside was.... well just check out the picture!

On Christmas Eve we (Me, anthony, albert, michiyo and jennifer) went for lunch at Sih Dah road at a stone pot restraunt. It was kinda random, you kinda had to cook your rice and stuff in well...a stone pot. Lets say I am now a fan of the stuff. Xi Men where we had a great time Go Karting...pretty cheap at $200 per ten minutes! The race was mostly me and Albert crashing into the side of the barrier and anthony slowly scooting past us with a fist in the air....ahhh these french eh!? ahhahaha. The next port of call was our local Xi Men bar where we had photos taken with the very red and cheerful bar staff.
Christmas Eve was a strangely stressful night...maybe cause Abei (Albert) phoned me and told me he wanted to go out for a drink. Hey I have no problem with Abei or going out for a drink but on xmas eve in taipei, thats blimmin insane. According to my friend she went by Taxi from Nan jing road to sogo and it took 1.5 hours! man...even in normal rush hour that journey is 15 mins max.
Anyways I had the very bright idea of going to my fave home Inhouse, upon arriving there we saw about 20 people waiting outside the lounge as they had not booked seats. I decided to go and ask instead and was confronted at the desk by Wei Wei my new best friend. She or He (loonnnnggg story for those who do not know)advised me she would give us a table immediatly and skip us infront of the mere 'mortals' at the door with no reservation. hahahahhaa....ahhhhhhhh she gave me plenty of Myen Tzi!
AAfter a quick one drink there I left Albert and jhis friend Charles to carry on drinking and headed to the ever lovely and beautiful Flora's place. Man...its pretty far away her house! I finally made it there at around 11.30 and I must say, Flora your flat is great and very very clean~. After eating random cheese with crackers that Anthony had purchased we headed to Flora's roof to check out the view. After a couple of hours of singing random songs to each other me and anthony headed home having had no sleep at 5.30 am....Thanks for the party darling Flora it was great~~~!!

Christmas Day was spent at Inhouse (where else!?) with my darling and then we ended up in this random free concert near Taipei 101 which strangely I have never mentioned before. This building in East Taipei is SERIOUSLY huge...yeah yeah yeah I know it is 101 floors but man...its a huge mother! Anyways I saw Zhang Chen Yuen feat MC Hotdog...my dreams had come true. Two legends in one place...oh bestill my beating heart!~~

Well new year is nearly upon us, i hope everyone has a good one. To my friends back home I miss you all and I will be coming home in Feb so not much longer people. To my family back home, that includes you roland (!) I miss ya and love you all very much.

To my friends in Taiwan....people lets PARTY!

Merry Christmas from David and Michiyo...and oh yes 7-11!!!!

......Merry Christmas from Albert too....hahahaha!!!

Taiwan has MACHINE WASHABLE SWEATERS and FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES...HAHAHA...

"My love is clearly still here..." oh my darling stephanie I feel your pain my dear~~~.

First of all in case I forget (believe me its possible in Taiwan) or do not have time to update this wonderful blog, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE~~~~~~!!!! I hope you all have a great one and do not get too fat and drunk on all the fine food and drink everyone will be having! We, well Albert and I took pictures wearing the extra SPECIAL 7-11 Father Christmas hats they are currently sporting in all good reputable 7-11s across Taiwan! For all those running out to buy one, you CANNOT buy them and no I will not tell you how I got my grubby little mitts on them!

*AHEM* Well last Saturday consisted of going to see Stan whup ass at the chinese/Taiwanese speech contest at Eslite bookstore. The competition was fierce, aggressive and a little loopy in the head e.g. the woman in the poncho whose friend sprayed water at her (see I dunno either!?). However StanDALF made it through fine by telling the 'amazing' saga that is and was his friendship with Albert (Alby) kinda makes me jealous! For his efforts he was awarded a non-tax free money prize and a huge bouquet of flowers...wonder which one he wanted more!?
Inbetween waiting for Stan, me, Alby and Mr froggy Cider (Anthony) went to this random 'high class' coffee shop where we had wierd coffee/tea. I say wierd cause it was served in interesting cups and other equipment, not equipment thats a bad word....uhm dang my English has really gone down hill!

SUNDAY...one of the most relaxing and 'out of it' days of my life, the day was good and is one I will NEVER forget. I guess that day reestablished my belief in somethings that I thought I had lost forever...

Most of this week has been spent studying as we seem to be picking up the pace in class. In fact on Wednesday I went to bed at 8.30pm! man...however I did manage to escape to Sih Ling with Anthony for a much needed steak and a quick drink at English life....oh dear~~ that place really does not work. Its huge and well....far too bling for Sih Ling! Anthony tried to return his damaged jade ring to the well dodgy but nice guy but he would not take it. Damn it! Anthony bruv don't worry bout it ok? Too much belief in such things is not good for you!

Oh yes! We have new class mates in our class:

Jonny; cool guy who from what I believe enjoys playing pool, video games and is very experienced in the art of "massaging" in China.

Lewis from Dominican republic is a chilled out guy, the only thing I know about him is that he once had a Japanese girl friend...hahahha.

Simon from Aus is a large bloke and he was even on PAPA ZHOW on Channel V where he ate some hot chilli...well done mate!

ZEE from the u.s. is the least I know about. He is twenty two and he has a law degree, which according to Alby is well...amazing! That means he went to college at 13 yrs! dang...

Well my good friend and bruv Anthony decided to stay up for over half the night to create a work of 'art'. For the full story behined this 'genius' check out his blog http://alboober.blogspot.com/. I thought it was pretty funny but I am not sure how everyone else took it, hahahhaha. I personally think Jennifer's caption is pretty funny...but Michiyo is SOOOOOO CUTE~~~~~ AWWWWW MY DARLING~~~~~

Magazine cover made by Anthony...bruv you have no life whatsoever....and I like that!

Dan Shui...man isn't it beautiful?

Ahhhh...the romance, hahahaha. We all decided to take 'romantic' photos of one another, this is the best one. Albert enjoy~~~

These random days...they gotta stop!

Well people lets just say the last ohhhh...6 days have been a blur. The randomness started last Sunday I guess when I decided to make the hour long trip down to Dan Shui to hang out. Albert, Anthony and Michiyo were already there, they had been there for 4 hours already! TUT! Dan Shui for those who don't know is on the coast of Taiwan by the sea therefore it is very popular at weekends for those who live in the roach ridden city. So...after fighting the crowds of people on the river side I made it to the coffee shop and enjoyed the sunset sitting next to my darling classmates.
I was meant to be meeting Kyla later on that evening however she cancelled on me with the excuse and I quote "its too cold." blimmin heck woman! So in the end us four went to Inhouse and Linda (Fan-ling) joined us too. After a meal and quick drink Xi Men was the next port of call as Linda decided she wanted photo stickers of us all. Yes its true we have no lives and yes its true Taiwan must be the only place in the world where you can have photo stickers taken at 11.30pm whilst listening to Britney Spears. Tswa Bing was next on the menu cause as usual Linda wanted "something sweet..." and "I won't get fat eating it, its all water!" YEAH RIGHT! We stood outside the shop deciding what we wanted whilst the poor shop woman kept speaking random japanese at us and saying things in japanese ENGRISH. FOR THE LAST TIME ALL XI MEN SHOP KEEPERS I AM NOT JAPANESE!!!!!
HAHAHAHA...after 3 minutes of japanese ranting I turned to her and said in mandarin that we were still deciding what we wanted. Que mass laughter from a table of young people and the poor shop womans colleagues. The woman made a sharp exit and hid in the back room for a while. Sorry luv!

Tuesday consisted of getting visa, having lunch with Anthony in the usual Xi Men bar where the waitress told me that I look more Korean than Japanese...FOR THE LAST TIME ALL XI MEN SHOP KEEPERS I AM NOT KOREAN!!!!! Ktv was next on the list that day...ahhh yes the time had come! The group included me, Anthony, Albert, Kaori, Michiyo, Linda and her German friend...what was her name????....nope my mind has gone blank. Damn she was a good singer though! We did a bunch of random songs, I did alex to's EFFUW TWOH DYOW which Anthony made a video of (oh dear~), Albert and Stan did ITS MY LIFE by the legends that are Bon Jovi and Michiyo and Kaori did a lovely Utada's First Love.

Well, another weekend is fast approaching so I must get back to doing some school work. I believe a typhoon is on its way here to this lovely island, perhaps its time to bring in reinforcements to fight this beast...Anthony's friend Typhoon Killer perhaps?!?! Laters people~~~
