... done with her but no. She lingered around me all night periodically coming back to ask more questions. She wanted to know what the differences were between their old teacher and me. Of course I couldn't answer because I had never seen the other teacher teach. She also found out that I am teaching two 3rd grade classes and wanted to know what the difference was between them (one is accelerated and the other is a very low mixed ability). She was a concerned parent but was ...

... The first thing I discovered about my students is that...they are ALL perverts. Maybe it's because they are all around 12, 13 and 14 years of age...and their hormones have kicked into overdrive...but whatever the reason...perverts they are! I teach there every second Tuesday from 10 AM - 12 PM and then a second class from 1 PM to 3 PM. The morning class was moderately perverted....but the afternoon class is extremely perverted. This one ...

... and Taiwanese alike) got together and decided that we would go bungee jumping. I had never gone before and so was anxious and excited about the experience. The designated jumping place was some 3 hours away from the city...so we left nice and early on a Sunday and began the crazy drive through the mountains. The roads were very windey and there is the added danger of having to deal with Taiwanese people who drive like madmen (and madwomen ...

... to meet for drinks sometime during the week. He agreed and set the date of Wednesday. Wednesday nights I teach at downtown Taoyuan...and so we agreed to meet at the McDonald's by the train station. We walked to this place called 'Rodeo' and starting chatting and having drinks. One of the first things I found out about him was that he had been in Taiwan for 8 months and had his plane ticket back to Montreal booked for April 19th. 'Damn, I thought...I knew there was a catch to ...

... given some drinks upon my entry and there was this famous DJ dude there playing some hip-hop-rap mix live. I found that I couldn't really get into the music much. I need words in my music and not random music noise. LOL. Picky, yes, I know. Anyway...people were off doing their own thing and I did not want to keep going around asking people to buy me drinks. I think that if someone doesn't want to buy you a drink that they should not feel obligated to do so just because it's ...

... responses in German, though if I heard it spoken I could get the jist of conversations. So far I hvae greetings and pleasantries down in Mandarin, just need to remember my #s and simple directions.. need things that I can use to tell taxi drivers where to go, or correct them when they get lost (which has happened about 3 or 4 times now. Guess cards with addresses only go so far. :) one morning ...

... On Thursday, we went to Hang Ten to pick up the shorts that were ordered for me, but they turned out to not fit right. I got another pair instead, along with a shirt that they just got in. That night, we celebrated Mom's birthday (by the lunar calendar) with a pretty coffee cake that had fruit and nuts inside. Today I bought a new pair of sandals at the market since mine are close to being ruined. I guess my ...

... leave the bus and a few elder ladies and I are the only passengers - again I enjoy to listen to the talk in Atayal language mixed with Atayal pronounced Chinese. At 8:00 I begin my walk on road No.7 at kilometer 3 in Chilan. The following 26 km walk is without special events, but making about 1000m in hight. I walk through a wide valley in between mountains and enjoy the farming countryside. This is without doubt cabbage land, cabbage ...

... planning ahead of us and the bank issues are certainly not helping at all. Arriving in 2 hours.... On flight, John ********************* I just settled in at home in Shi-chi City. Today is Chinese New Year and Taipei is an ghost town, especially at 7am on a Sunday. Although from time to time, there are fire crackers going off. As for the flight, I was expecting a lot less people on the flight, but it turned out to be a full flight!

This city is amazing. You ll noticed many things that are particular for this city, -Taiwan has lived the japonese occupation. Japonese left their trace. You can find awesome sushis everywhere and it cost nothing. Also, the Taiwanese girls all have the japonese cut and tend to follow japonese fashion style. These are also still lots of ...
