grrr..Asian women don't have HIPS!

My apartment was set up Monday morning and the typhoon stopped so I have been enjoying the city this week. How I have passed my time: Hiking on Monkey Mountain. A monkey jumped on me, hugged my waist and ripped my coffee out of my hands. I was surprisingly very calm and didn't get burned.

Shopping at the night markets. All the clothes in the night market are super cheap and made of synthetic material. They dry very quickly. However it seems it will be absolutely impossible for me to buy pants here. Asian women don't have hips or round bottoms. Tried the department stores also. Bought a scooter. Grey '97 Kymco 125CC. Meeting locals for dinner through Couchsurfing. They have been taking me to awesome restaurants around the city.

Taking the scooter on exploratory adventures. Rode through the mountains, visited the British Consulate for pretty views of the city, stopped by Pier 2, the city's modern art space and enjoyed some interesting exhibits.
