Happy Chinese New Year
This month was a great
month. We went to my mom’s native country, Taiwan. On the day of Chinese
New Year, we had a great feast with many Chinese foods that believed
that you would have a great year and would make you lucky.
I thought the feast was absolutely delicious especially the foods that I
have never eaten before. After we had our feast I still had the taste of
the food slithering in my mouth. Now traditionally in Taiwan we get
something called a hong bao. It means a red bag filled with……….. You
guessed it! MONEY. Some had 30 dollars 10 dollars 20 dollars but what I
was most surprised was that I got 60$ from my grandmother. I thanked her
so much. A few days later we got to eat a meal that took 2 hours to
serve and about ten minutes at a time My little brother, my cousin and
me pretty much played cards the whole entire time because there was
pretty much nothing else to do.
Before we left to come back to the U.S, My uncle decided to go on a three day trip with his family and ours. We went to the museum to see sculptures of people and paintings. One particularly interesting part was when they used shells exploding in their art so that it has a weird effect to make the page change color. I was really cold and so were the others so we went to the hot springs where they had really hot water and really cold water. At the bottom was a swimming pool with different kinds of massages. Though I was tired at night I shot some fireworks. It was my first time ever doing this. I was scared at first and so when I lit the fire work thingy I ran away as fast as possible. The outcome was beautiful. The interesting thing about the place I slept in was that instead of rooms there were campers. It felt different from regular hotels but it had a nice feeling to it. In the morning we borrowed bikes and rode around a mountain. Each lap was about a mile and I rode around the mountain 4 times. So it pretty much means that I rode four miles the whole trip!!!!!
The end was the end and after the night we waved good bye to each other hoping that we can see each other soon.

in the country of Taiwan 12 hours later when we landed and went into my
bathroom just kidding we actually went into my grandmothers
house and we were met by a big
surprise because are moms sister had changed her
name into "we are the champion we are the champion no time for losers
cause we are the champion", oops sorry I was just listening to
youtube, here name actually changed into "Yang Yo Ching" but it used to
be "Yang Bow Sun". You may ask why I made so many mistakes in this
yoyototo.com thingy muggy it is probably because I just had a brain
surgery today, anyway, lets get back to the Taiwan trip.
One of trips in
Taiwan was we went to Seattle, Oopsy daisy sorry I was looking at Google
earth, we actually went to "Whaw Liang". We went boating and suddenly we
got eaten by a shark bla bla bla bla bla, ha ha ha, I was just kidding
but we did run boat with friends, boating about a hundred miles
which was super super super super fun that night was the best, because
we had barbecue and we made small fireworks
that night. We slept at a hotel that the rooms whrere giant tarantulas
