Karaoke Bus, the Hotdog Bug, and Ice Packs

Today was another craaaaaaazy day. First we tried to find somewhere to eat breakfast, but for some reason none of the restaurants on campus were open lol so we ate at the OK which is essentially a convenience store And we ate really sketchy disgusting stuff like apple flavored bread with peanut butter even though I don't like peanut butter. Then we arranged for a coach bus to pick us up and bring us to the Yehliu Geopark because we figured considering our issues with public transport it'd be dangerous to attempt that in a country where no one speaks English. The Geopark was really really cool. It was similar to the Bay of Fundy but GIANTER. We went on an awesome hike there and got awesome pictures and sweated awesomelyyyy. I tripped over multiple craters in the earth and Alyssa slipped and fell but it was still great. We went to the 7/11 there a bunch of times and drank a tonnnn of water. On the way back, we realized that our bus was a KARAOKE BUS. Most of the songs were in Mandarin but we chose a few from the English sections and basically sang them over and over. It was so so hilarious. Many good videos of that to come. Also, all of the songs were like fake illegal versions and has extremely sketchy Asian people music videos in the background. For example imagine by John Lennon had all these Asian people in relationships, etc. It was toooooo funny. Then when we got back we went out for dinner at a German restaurant that was practically like being in Munich except everyone was Asian. It was very delicious. Then on the way out I fell and hurt my foot and cried like a baby but I'm sure itllbe fine and unswollen by tomorrow. But it was so so funny because we went hopping back into the restaurant as CELEBRITIES. everyone was taking my picture and coming over and posing with me and a man asked to hold my ice pack. Kalene said she guessed i was the first white person to hurt herself at an Asian-German restaurant.
