... with the culture...<br><br>I had a much needed relaxing weekend. After the past couple weekends have been busy with traveling it was nice to have a weekend to myself where I was able to sleep in and not do anything! On Friday night I went over to one of the teacher's apartments for our wine Friday. We always get together on Friday nights for some wine to wind down from the week. It is nice to get together for a relaxed Friday night. On Saturday we went to dinner at a Greek restaurant in ...

Wow, this has been a long and busy week for me. It will be a long entry, sorry. At school I started all my extra classes and on top of that I was subbing with the youngest students, the 3 yr. olds!

... food and cleary not a vegitarian meal! We ate what we thought was edible, some of it was actually pretty good. We didn't dare touch the chicken so to make sure that we didn't hurt their feelings we put some of it in a bowl and dumped it over the railing outside (we were eating outside). A meal wouldn't be complete without a little tea so one of the teachers,Joel, ordered tea and they came out with tea for everyone. We prepared it for ourselves. She showed ...

We went to a amusement/water park called Fancy World! It was a lot of fun but it was sooooo hot! All you wimps in MN complaining when it gets to be 85 degrees there haven't experienced hot! You would just stand there and you would sweat and there was NO breeze! I don't understand how the Taiwanese ...

... my eyes squeezed shut, asked Tania what the noises were. Her reply was less than satisfying, "It&#8217;s just the sounds of the city, ha ha, enjoying your nap honey"? I told her to go toward the window and find out if all the building except ours have been shaken to the ground by an earthquake or if the bottom four floors are flooded by a tsunami (we are on the fifth), &#8220;hurry, hurry&#8221;!! Luckily, we have an excellent ...

I've been living the life that I imagine many people dream about and others have nightmares about.

Gelukkig rijden er overdag wel shuttle bussen die ook redelijk vaak gaan dus je hoeft niet altijd te lopen. Taxi's zijn ook ubercheap dus het is al een paar keer voorgekomen dat we ons hebben laten afzetten voor de deur als we een taxi op de campus zagen rijden. De meeste exchange studenten ...
