Last Sunday, Phil and I and another foreign guy, Mike, took some Chinese/Taiwanese cooking lessons! A local friend of ours, Adelaide, who owns an English cram school (where Mike works), invited us over to have her mom show us how to make some dishes. Her mom was so kind. She showed us how to make six or seven different things. We were all stuffed by the end! Her mom didn’t speak much English, but occasionally she would throw in comments like, “So easy...you can do it!” It was so cute!
(These are pictures of Adelaide's school. It's located on the first floor of their house. This is the case with most shops and businesses in Taiwan.)
After our cooking lessons, we all went to a Taiwan professional league baseball game. Phil and I had been to an all-star/charity game before, but we had never been to an actual game. It was fun and interesting. At baseball games in Taiwan, there is noise constantly. We weren’t used to this. Fans have organized cheers they do with noise makers, drums, instruments, etc... throughout the entire game. It’s crazy! There are a few videos of some of the cheers below.
There weren’t many people at the game, so Phil, Mike and I really stuck out. We got on the scoreboard screen at least three times and had multiple people tell us the next day at school that they saw us on TV a bunch of times. Only in Taiwan! :)
