New Friends and New Foods
by rally on Sep.06, 2009, under general
I went to Birch Run outlet malls with the Michigan Taiwanese Student Association yesterday. Well, actually, I went with Eric’s apartment, but they were going because MTSA was organizing a massive trip there. (Like 70 ppl… never had a TAS event that big before…)
Had A&W for the first time (for lunch). Check out the root beer float! Mmm..

After the mall (not much to comment there… I bought stuff, including things I probably didn’t need… go figure) we went a little more north to a town called Frankenmurth. It’s like a little German-esque town with a lot of stores and German foods. Went to the Bavarian Inn:

Got the traditional sausage stuffs… it was OK. Different. The sauerkraut was good:

After dinner, we went wander through the other stores:

Ugly dolls! (Karen would be excited.)

As the sun started to set, we found ourselves here:

This morning, I met up with a semi-acquaintance and had Mediterranean food. I got falafel again!! (Hadn’t had one since NYC summer 2007…) Tak’s car was decorated all over with Totoro dolls. I thought it was really cute:

Life here is good. I’m pretty happy, although I’ll be even happier next weekend when Carol comes to visit and I finally settle into my own place. (So I can stop bumming off Eric’s couch and living out of my suitcase!)

Wow, that scenic shot is gorgeous. Then again, I’m a sucker for water.
