Thanksgiving

Since no one really has an oven or a way to get real Thanksgiving food, we decided to go to TGIF for dinner after work.  Yes, we worked during this holiday because they don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. They do have Christmas lights and trees around the train stations, in the stores, and around the neighborhoods.  It's funny how majority of them worship different gods, but still manage to celebrate Christmas.
I recently bought a rice cooker. Maybe it will help me save money and keep from getting burned out on all the eating out. I understand that they eat out a lot here because they get home so late (from work and studying at night school), but after awhile you run out of things to try.  Let me rephrase that.  You run out of "normal" things to try.  I'm still not brave enough to try the squid and other random grilled, fried, or raw unknowns. If a Taiwanese person says that it is good, then majority of the time it is not going to taste good to me. I have learned this the hard way! What is sweet and tasty to me is too sweet for them. They are more in to spices and I am not.  I don't think I enjoy pizza as much as I did before I came here.  As you can see, I am still working on getting used to different foods.  Don't worry! I'm not losing weight because I am not eating. I'm losing because of the increased amount of exercise.  I can't wait for treatment in January! I know that will help level a lot of things.
