Sam, Youming, and I took a trip back to Liangshan one weekend. This was my third trip there (trips one and two were both pretty wonderful), and it remains my favorite spot on this island. (more…)

I’ve begun to fall into the schedule of my life here, and I have to say, it’s a good life. (more…)

This weekend we headed to Tainan for a food tour with a group of Youming’s friends. They planned the trip for us; Tainan is considered a food center of Taiwan, and so we spent the day sampling some of the more famous dishes around the city.  (more…)

I spent 2 days looking for a job; I had a few offers, and I decided to take a job with Clover English School. I’ll be teaching full time to kids ages 7 to 15, with around 20 kids in each class. I’ve signed a year long contract, and it’s nice to have the security of a position. (more…)

I’ve only just arrived, and already we’ve taken a weekend trip down to Kenting.  (more…)
