Got up a bit late today and just had breakfast, and tidied up my luggage. 二叔 went to run some errands and also went and bought 涼麵 for lunch. I went to the post office to grab some postage stamps for the postcards I wrote last night.
Then ended up having a snooze on the couch (couch is really comfy) as I was still really tired, since indigestion made it super hard to fall asleep last night.
During the 30 min snooze 二叔 also fell asleep on his massage chair and snoozed really loud. After that had the 涼麵 for lunch.
After lunch it's time to head to Taipei. I will be staying with 姨媽. 二叔 dropped me off at the Ubus station and the next bus was like 7 mins away. Sweet. Fare was $280.
I managed to fall asleep on the bus for a good hour. With my mouth open. Thank god for masking lol no one can see that.
After I arrived at Taipei Main Station it was wa easier to find my way to the MRT VS the other way round. I took the Tamsui line and changed to Wenhu line. When I got to Wangfang I couldn't remember what number 姨媽's house was so called her to ask, with the intention of taking a taxi. But 姨媽 said to take the bus, and I said but what if there's a lot of people and I'm an inconvenience with my luggage on a full bus? She said not to worry and take the 236 or 530. Alright then.
530 bus was full lol. So I just stood near the front entrance as it was full further down. Forgot how some bus drivers drive like a F1 driver. Oof. When I got off I said "thanks driver" and he said 美女 something something which I didn't catch, and then byebye.
A line was queued up for the rubbish truck and it came just as I crossed a zebra crossing of the carpark, which the rubbish truck parked up at singing its tune. Quickly quickly let the rubbish people through. When I got to the entrance of 姨媽's house I couldn't remember which number her house was... and then it was like a dead spot for reception so I couldn't even get the call to connect??? I thought to check the wifi saved on my phone, and yes indeed it did have the number and floor on it. Score. Rang the intercom and she opened the door without asking who it was lol.
姨媽 was waiting with the door open for me when I arrived and the elevator door opened. Turns out that 表姊夫's injured from a motorvehicle accident and the whole family is now living at her house. So I will be sleeping with 姨媽. Oooh dear. Okay. I hope this works out. I noticed so much dust on her cabinets so I asked if I could clean them while she cooked dinner... she was happy and got me the mops and stuff. I had some tea and the started on the cleaning. The water is filthy and there's so much dust. Like the water is grey yellow.... I ended up having to wash the cloth heaps of times. I was thinking it would be so much easier with a vacuum cleaner, but I don't think she has one. I got a fair amount of dust cleaned but she also has so much clutter and expired products.
Dinner was done so it was a good time to stop and dinner was so very yum. Then a pomelo that was so sweet and full of juice. 台南麻豆柚子 is famous apparently!! This one is from an old tree.
姨媽 asked me to out her dyson back together and oh she does have a vacuum? OH YAY! It'll get rid of the thick dust so easy. The dyson is a small model and it's fairly easy.
Then I used the vacuum and cleaned up the rest of the room. I also got to see 表哥 and 表嫂 pick up their kids - the older one being 紹珉 Shào mín and the younger one being 翃毅 Hóng yì. Will try to remember 😭 紹珉 is in middle school now.
表姊 and 表姊夫's whole family is here and one of the kids have an exam tomorrow. I found some old photos of the family while cleaning and showed 表姊.
Just blog and have some tea, and then decide where to go tomorrow.
