Today seemed to drag on forever. I woke up at 4:30 AM and was unable to fall back asleep, so I have been awake for the last 16 and a half hours. We first went to get breakfast at the same place as we went yesterday. We then took public transportation to a famous temple in the city. Right outside the temple, there was an underground passage that went under the main road.
Along the underground passage were rows of fortune-telling booths. I was told by one fortune teller that I'm going to get fat and have health complications from being fat. She also said I should be an architect, financial adviser, or do anything related to metal. I was told to do business in Taiwan and not in America. At this point, I began to stop listening because I knew the fortune teller was giving me a load of bs and scamming me out of 500 NT. I also heard that I would get married around the age of 30.
My brother Kevin got his future read by another fortune teller, who did a better job of describing my brother's traits, but still got some things (probably) wrong. My brother is supposed to get super rich from ages 30 to 48, but has to be careful when he is 41 and 49. He is also supposed to have problems with girls and not settle down seriously until he is 30 (like me).
My father got his fortune read by yet another fortune teller, but he had already had his fortune read before, and knew the fortune teller he had this time was a fake because she was taking too much time trying to read his future and had messed up the process, thus giving my father wrong predictions.
We then went to lunch and a department store near Taipei Main Station. At this point, I started getting really tired, so we went to Cold Stone Creamery and had some ice cream, replenishing some of my energy.
Following this, we went to visit another of my great aunts, this time my father's mother's sister (the second oldest). We stayed for a good 3 hours (where I almost fell asleep multiple times) before leaving.
The ride home took over an hour due to large numbers of people taking public transportation at the time. We eventually got back and I saw my grandmother and my youngest uncle for the first time in 3 years, which was good.
I'm extremely tired now. Jetlag has taken its toll on me, so I might go to bed pretty early tonight because we have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow.
