To Taiwan, or...Not Taiwan...That is the question

<p>So, my best friend is spending a year in Taiwan before she begins college-at u of hawaii at manoa (she's amazing at being that independent.)
She keeps persuading me to come visit her (and I've always been interested in asian culture, yada yada.)</p>

<p>Well, to make a long story short...I have half the money of the plane ticket financed IF I were to go...(from graduatino money/random amounts of mexican pesos i've collected over the years)...And think I might be able to take some out of my bank account.</p>

<p>However, I may have issues asking my dad if I am allowed to go (my friend wants me to come for a month--and what time would you ever have to go to Taiwan, only spend money on a plane fare and stay for free????? in the midst of Taipei!)</p>

<p>So, I'm wondering how I should persuade my dad. My mom is more or less alrighty with the prospect, my dad would be ****ing if he knew...because he just lost his job and money is tight but it is not from his stockpile.</p>

<p>And furthermore, I feel like going to taiwan this semester off for me would be the cheese to my macaroni (thank you Juno!)</p>

<p>IIRC stuff in Taiwan is cheaper than stuff in America. So you can buy lots of random stuff then sell it at a profit! :p</p>

<p>(Might not actually work.)</p>
