Old memories gone...

Went to visit my Nana today. Glad to see that she's doing well. However, they have moved to apartment complexs, and the old area they live in has been demolished and stuff, and its no longer liveable. You probably don't know this, but Taiwan has these things we call 眷村 (military dependents' village) (see wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_dependents%27_village), which is a bloody fun place. Everyone knows each other etc etc, and most of them have military backgrounds. They are getting knocked down left and right from development, though D=

Basically, we went around the old village they lived in. Most of the buildings have been damaged (due to demolishment), with anything that could be sold (metal pieces, doorknobs) taken. Rubble and wood lay everywhere... it was kinda saddening, to think that I used to play there often when we went to Nana's. However, the tree we used to climb was still there, so its somewhat a relief. Walked around a bit, but didn't get in too far because there's apparently snakes now >.>

Didn't bring a camera, but if I get to go there again I will take some pictures of how deserted and runied that place is... T_T

Going to Taipei tomorrow, gonna take looooooots of photos. FES & Nagato... I'm coming!
See you for now~
