We met up with some old friends, Michael's mom and dad, and then met up with more old friends. We took a drive to Shi Fen, which was an old gold mining town with lots of scenic spots and small waterfalls. We walked around there, then went into the actual mining town afterwards.
A tradition there is to light up these paper air balloons and to release them into the sky. You're supposed to draw pictures and write your wishes on the balloon, and they are supposed to come true if your balloon flies away without bursting into flames. Jenn's dad bought her a balloon and she drewa cats and other random stuff all over it. She wrote "Aaron is GAY" on one corner of the balloon so she could tag her brother on facebook later (inside joke).
At night, we met up with Jenn's cousin Julia to go to bars. We first went to the Taiwan alcohol and tobacco corporate headquarters, which had some warehouse in the back where they had lots of Taiwan beer and live music. We were there for a while, mingled with some locals and drank a bunch of Taiwan beer. Afterwards, we went to some other bar, and then to a hookah bar. It was a fun night.
