Please apologize my stoopid english!
My new and last host family:
I live again in Taishan, now. Taishan, the district the most lost of Taipei to me, or at least one of the most lost. Taishan, where's there's an impressive rate of old dudes staring at you while waiting for your bus to school, chewing betel nut and spit out the red liquid off their mouth, carrying huge plastic bags of fruits and vegetables. The air now is getting a bit more humid and hot, and reminds me of my first days here.
I live now in a 8 floors house, with an elevator and an underground car park. My room is at the 5th floor, with the living room, kitchen, dining room and the Grand Ma's room. My room has a balcony and it's really cool when there's the night market outside. I also have my own bathroom and I actually don't need to wash my underwears which is quite awesome.
The house is really big because the family members live all together; Parents, Uncles, little cousins, etc. The Grand-Mum is 96. She only speaks Taiwanese which I don't understand, wears a turquoise ring and pink nail polish.
This is what we call a traditional Taiwanese house. It's decorated with lots of little statues of Buddha and traditional chinese ornaments.
When I'm not at school or out with friends, I spend most of my time drawing, writing stuffs and reading articles (when I have internet, because while I'm writing these lines, my host dad lent me his Iphone so I can use his wifi), listening to Tame Impala or Das Racist or Alex Turner or Grimes or Youth Lagoon or other stuffs, or, doing my nails.
As this right moment, I plan to watch the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, do my nails and then maybe write and draw a little, play Temple Run 2 on my phone (I HATE Candy Crush), and then buy a bubble tea (a hot, big size and sweet one for 35 NT$ which equals 0,90€), who knows.
What is interesting too in Taiwan, they all have this passion for fruits. Every day when I come back home I can see a basket full of colorful fruits that you can't have in France, mango, papaya, guava, watermelon (oh myyy, watermelon I love you so much). And while you're having a walk in Taipei's streets, there often is an fruit seller, from whom you can buy a little bag of cut fruits that you eat with a tooth pic, a thing I never saw in France.
I only have 2 months left in Taiwan and I'm thinking: 'this year has gone so fast I barely saw it'.
Now I'm more open minded, I can talk to people easily, I enjoy even more life's little things, I'm more willing to learn more about other cultures and other foreign languages: Me, who used to hate learning Spanish and disliked how German sounds, I want to know more about these languages and I feel even more interested in the English language. But right now I don't think I've been far from home for such a long time.
The more I think about it, the more I feel like the return will be weird, for no reason.
