One morning Shaina and I woke up at 3:30am and went to the Tokyo Tsukiji fish market. We watched the Japanese fishermen bring the seafood straight off the boat at 4:30am. We then went across the street and got the freshest sushi ever. I’ve never eaten sushi at 5:30am! It was amazing. Here are some pics

Taipei update.

So I started all my classes in Taiwan and I like my professors. The teaching style here is a lot less flexible than I’m used to, so I'll have to adjust. I’ll definitely be very very busy this semester. At the moment I’m writing two individual business plans and all I see is tons of work heading my way. Anyways… Today after class I went and got some beef noodles and then took some shots of the street corner. Hope you enjoy.

First week in Taipei, Taiwan!!!!!

So I’ve been in Taipei for a week now and I love it. Everyone is so helpful and nice. Things are much more accessible here than in Barcelona because there are so many convenience stores throughout the city. The dorms are really nice too. I have my own room and a balcony with a city view. School is only a block away and so far classes are going great. I’m still adjusting to the food and I want to try everything possible, except stinky tofu … I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet.

Here are some pictures from my first week in Taipei. Ramirez took me all over the city so I’m getting acquainted really fast. These pictures are from the National Palace Museum and the Taipei Night Market.
