This is a long overdue, photo-based blog update. I would love to hear more from everyone at home!

Beautiful clear day viewed from my balcony |
|
On Cijin Island outside Kaohsiung |
|
With my teacher and best friend/classmate from Brazil, also named Kelly. We took a boat tour along the Love River |

Outside of my language center |

Free concert weekend in the huge park near our house |
|
Elementary school "lion dance" performance outside the department store |
|
Zi Yu, Fu An and Teacher Lai with a little bit of Gong Zhu's head. I only know my classmate's Chinese names! |
|
Check out that scooter traffic, so typical |
|
Eating Taiwanese hot pot with my favorite girl, Lily |
|
Having class outside the Cultural Center with Meng Shi, Jing Shen, and Ding Shan (Vietnamese, Australian and Korean. Kelly is Brazilian and there is also another American in my class!) |
|
My former coworker got married and invited me and our former student, Janet, to her wedding! |
|
The wedding is basically just a giant reception. We all ate fresh seafood non-stop for 3 hours. The bride and groom came out a few times to hold a raffle and toast with the guests, each time wearing a different outfit! | |

|
Went to dinner with Kelly, her friends from church and their pastor. See anything strange?? |
|
Winnie, my former coteacher, and I won a prize from Taiwan's GreaTeach 2010 competition for our international net pal exchange program!!! |
|
Ding Shan, Zi Yu, me and Kelly at our farewell dinner. Zi Yu, Kelly and the only other girl in class, Hui Lin, won't be studying with us next semester :( |
|
Our class and the Center director at the graduation ceremony (minus Jing Shen who already went traveling!). I was really surprised and happy to receive the 1st place award for my class. We all voted for who should get the award, so it means a lot that my classmates think I've done the best! |
hey, Kelley! I couldn't check your facebook message right on time. How are you? It's great to see you here, and also to find Kelly...;)
