... up, she licked all her fingers and started hammering the screen again. I didn&#8217;t touch much after that. <br><br>Poor Daddy is going to have an awful lot to carry home with him when he leaves Hong Kong. Wang gave him some Chinese white wine, which is something like 53% proof, some posh Chinese red wine in a wooden box, and a disc of tea, as well as another scroll that&#8217;s about 1.2m in length. We&#8217;ve left those at the Harbour Grand ...

... my head and entered the classroom.<br><br>I saw my teaching assistant Sara. &#8220;Sara, you are looking beautiful today,&#8221; I said.<br><br>&#8220;Jen di ma (Really?)&#8221; she answered. She feigned embarrassment, but sprang to attention like a neglected puppy, waiting to get her compliment whenever I arrived.<br><br>&#8220;Yes. Really,&#8221; I replied.<br><br>Taiwanese girls were refreshing non-politically correct: making there way in a male dominated world, conscious of not being ...

... however, because our Plan B was to go to Danshui. When we arrived, I realized why Bien Laoshi was hesitant to take us here as a group. I barely had enough room to breathe when we got out of the metro. There were so many people that if any of us took a deep breath our stomach would graze the backpack of the person in front of us. It was a thrill. Of course, and unfortunately, Bien Laoshi wanted to make this little excursion educational, so ...

... to India; Hong Kong, straight to Vietnam, and ours to Taipei. Had some fun encounters. Was looking out the big windows and realized I was very close to our plane. Double decker-two rows of windows. A "Food Cart" being rolled into the gaping hole in the midsection of the plane. Wondering what kinds of processed meals were there and hoping for some fruit. Then a spunky older lady came to the corner and started donig runner ...

... has threatened to break his glasses on numerous occasions... he's finding the "scenery" too temping sometimes.. his girlfriend in the states isn't a big fan. :) Went to a couple of the club/bar/lounges near the 101 tower, which my boss is first name basis with all the club owners. It's like their version of hollywood A-list clubs, everyone is there to see and be seen, and most people there speak English. One night met a couple of famous local singers, a ...

Past 10 pm Hunter calls me to tell me that on the " Indigenous Peoples Channel - No. 16 ) " I can see a report about him, his family, life and band - I watch it. Interesting to see all this on TV while I am there. The night has again the disturbing sounds on my terrace, but now I know that these are monkeys which do not break into my room.

This weekend was rather exciting (by my somewhat lowered standards anyway) - my roommate from training, Kim, came up for the weekend. I haven't seen her for a while, because she works in Chang Hua, which is a couple of hours south. Saturday night was fun - we met in Taipei and ate a huge shabu shabu. Shabu shabu is one of my favourite things about Taiwan - a load of veggies and stuff that you cook in your own soup pot in ...

... makes for a fine feast, as well as sambar ( a species of deer ), Reevs's muntjac ( a smaller deer ) and Formosan serow ( a wild goat ), also protected, but in defined numbers hunted by the aboriginies. A very bief history ( as we step into it while walking ) - as early as 30.000 years ago people have inhabited Taiwan as determined by radiocarbon dating of primitive utensils. They may have ...
