Wow, I just realized that I’ll be back in the States in less than a week. I will definitely miss the Taipei’s delicious food. Tonight, I’m going to eat some yummy dim sum. Yay!
Yesterday, I went to get a magic perm. It took about 4 hours. I had no idea what this process entails, so after a hair stylist washed the chemicals out of my hair and then blew dry it, I thought that was it. I was disappointed that my hair wasn’t straight. I didn’t know that it would be another 2-3 hours before my perm was complete. Two people straightened every strand of hair on my head for about an hour. That took the longest time. After that, my hair was washed/conditioned and then it was dried again. At this point, my hair was very straight. Then the main hair stylist cut my hair again, and I was good to go. She told me that I couldn’t wash my hair for 2 days, and I have to leave my hair down for a week. Ahh! This whole hair process only cost $2700 NT (< $90 american). It costs about $400 in America. I'm so glad I got it done here. :)
Today I went bowling. I was so close in breaking 100, but it wasn't meant to be. Before we went bowling, we went to see the Bodyworlds exhibition at the science museum in Shilin. It was kind of interesting. There was one part that I found to be really disturbing. They had a special section of dead human fetuses. It was quite sad. I don’t think the US would ever welcome such an exhibition, but who knows!
