Earthquakes, Sake, and Crazy Cousin/Uncles

1) My first earthquake. I had no idea what it was at first, but soon realized that I had just experienced my first earthquake. It was about 12 pm Saturday night. I was lying in bed almost sleeping, when I heard what sounded like the crack of thunder that brings chills to your bones. It felt like someone was under my bed kicking up my mattress. Because I was half sleeping, I thought I had imagined it. I sat up in bed with wide open eyes, wondering if I had just imagined that whole scene. But I felt like I was vibrating slightly. Was I on crack? I had no idea if I was dreaming this or if it was actually happening. I wanted to text my host dad that was 2 floors up, but I didn't want to bother him. I texted my friend, Damien, and told him I was really scared. He said that I was safe and he would call me if I wanted him to. I decided to try and get to sleep. Once I was asleep, I slept the entire night and was ok. In the morning, Mr. Huang was online so I asked him if an earthquake had happened last night. He said it was very small, maybe a 2. I told him how scared I had been; and he told me if I got that scared that I could some upstairs to talk. He said his house can withstand a 9 earthquake, but Taiwan only gets up to a 7.
2) Sake. Today was a bbq for a few cousins' birthdays. We went next door at noon and began eatting. The grilling and food didn't end until 4....that's about when I left. Mr. Huang the next door neighbor (the loud, annoying one) cracked open the sake and kept taking shots with me. It's 15% alcohol and tastes like a hard liquor more than a wine. We probably had the first 3 within 2 minutes...then I told him I wanted to take it easy. He still asked constantly for atleast an hour, but I wouldn't drink it for maybe 10 minutes. If I drank it immediately, the cup would be refilled immediately and we'd drink again. So I learned to not drink it when he wanted to cheers. I pretended I didn't see it several times. He's nut. Absolutely nuts.
That brings me to 3) Crazy Uncle/Cousins. For the last two months I thought this guy was my host dad's brother....so an uncle. Today I found out that they are cousins. I was wondering why other family members never were around him (because they are not related). He is very wealthy, loud, and kind of disgusting. Instead of knocking politely, he runs through the house screaming your name. It happened this morning at 9 and 11 and I wanted to kill him. He stood outside my window yelling "kate uh, Kate uh Kate uh" (he can't just say KATE...he has to add "uh" to my name). I thought he would never go away, so I quit ignoring him and said WHAT?!?!?!? At the bbq he got drunk and started telling sex jokes in Chinese. I don't know what they were saying, but Mr. Huang said amidst his laughing, he is telling the sexy joke. Lol! He kept asking me which man at the bbq was the best looking, but they are all old and married so I wouldn't answer. When they were drunk I was pretty creeped out. Anyway...now I know that rich retired crazy guy is a cousin and not an uncle.
