CULTURE SHOCK!


    Hey pees!
Have you ever been submerged in a new culture, you were already sort of knew? Well I have! This summer (meaning now) I am in Taiwan learning Mandarin, because the best way to learn a language is to not just learn the language but also the culture! I start Monday, (or Sunday on your time) so far its been amazing with the different do's and don'ts, bus systems, food (but I eat the same style at home every day just not as good of produce), fashion, climate, and more! I should have a video put together by the and of the summer!

   One thing I noticed recently is that my grammar is going down, my cousins and my Grandparents all learned English. Its not perfect so my grammar is slowly getting lower, I will say "We should go back get umbrellas" instead of, "We should go back and get the umbrellas!" (BTW I am half Chinese). Another thing I say now is "iyoh!" ,so yeah it rubbing off on me.
