Taiwanese people know how to receive gifts.

Summer time, and the livinseasy

When I went to America, and sorry about this, skateshops of Taiwan, I found that prices are 1/3 to 1/5 the price of Taiwan, depending on the equipment. At the most extreme, a decent blank in America is about $12 USD online (admittedly, I've heard of local blanks here around the same price, but it's not quite up to par, even for blanks). Because I am not an idiot, I bought some stuff and flew it back home with me. I gave most of it out as gifts, because gift-giving is a facially important activity here, and also, I get 3 to 5 times the gift credit of what I spent in America. The gifts were well-received. I always hated gift giving, until this time. I hope I can learn how to receive gifts as well as these dudes.

The bridge was almost empty tonight, allegedly because PocketMan Go has come to taiwan. ZW didn't flinch, and we skated it with some young bloods. One sawty's arm was in a cast, but he refused to give in to Pokemon. A tiny kid in basketball shoes ripped around as best he could, mostly following us at full speed. He has what it takes.

I have never been so sweaty. I don't know how it's possible, since it was only 28 at midnight, but I poured sweat out of my shoes when I took them off.

I skated north after detente, and knocked down some TBs and fami food on the way. I was pretty happy by the time I got the midget marble hubba, so I skated it for a bit, until security came out to watch. I came back towards them to throw away my empty can and food trash, and they smiled and waved, but then froze up when they saw my hulk hogan/j. dill stache. The only thing that gets more negative attention in asia than a beard is a hulk hogan mustache. lzyk already announced that I have to shave the rest of it off tomorrow, but then tried to start a civil war about it when I got home, so I'm trying to suck up my nuts and wear it to work in the morning.
