This evening I saw a skate competition. I met some guys who run a skate shop in Ximen. They had a contest between themselves. The winner got a 160nt ($5) and a Corona. The spot where they skated is in front of a hospital near Ximen shopping area called the fish bowl. Ximen is always busy at night so lots of people were watching them skate.

It didn’t rain today but I didn’t play ball. I’m ready next time though. I bought the shoes. It took me long enough, I don’t like shopping. I went to Gonggguan, a market next to Taiwain University. I bought some books at a used book store. A picture book for Chinese children studying English. It has the English and the characters. I can use it to study. I got these old prints of postcards printed by the National Museum of History. Each pack has like 8 cards from one artist. They’re like collector items. I also bought some floor cushions and straw mats to make a nice sitting area in my room. I don’t like to sit at my desk, it’s not comfortable. I won’t go shopping for a long while. I spent too much money.
