The Subway and the Zoo

Okay- so the first time I wrote this letter it accidentally got deleted, so now you all get a really short recap version! (And I STILL don't have a phone so emailing is still weird)

Basically I went on exchanges with another Greeny in the district who lives in our apartment (Elder Morgan who is over the other part of Zhong He). We spent the whole day street contacting and learned a lot.

In Taiwan the subway system (called the MRT) is way different from NYC. The whole thing is really clean because once you pass the turn styles you are not allowed to eat or drink anything (even water), and there is always a glass wall of some sort that blocks off the train tracks from the platform. Long story short unless you dropped something between the crack between the train and the platform while getting on the train you can't really drop anything. Another thing I like are the priority lines and priority seats for the elderly, disabled, pregnant, injured, or people with kids. It's a pretty good system. It would never work in NYC but in the orderly Asian world it's pretty good!

We havent heard conference yet- but we already know about all the big conference announcements because there were tons of rumors getting all the missionaries hyped so we kept checking in the morning for all the announcements!

Elder Bunn and I also have a friend named Edison who is getting baptized this Sunday. He is awesome and we went to a zoo with him today on P-Day. It was raining a lot so the zoo was dead empty and the Zoo is only $60 NTD (about $2 USD) so it was pretty sweet.
