Kenting and Kaohsiung

Nǐ hǎo!

While it is important for you to know that I love you, it is also important for you to understand that I am lazy and tired. This being said, I’m sorry if my last Taiwan blog post is kind of lame, I am literally just going to copy some of my journal entries for my travel days in Kenting and Kaohsiung, and I am so tired that I can’t promise I will proofread it after. A lot of our trip was spent just relaxing and sightseeing and there weren’t many crazy stories, so I think the Reader’s Digest version will be most enjoyable. Here we go!

Graduation!!

Nǐ hǎo!

Whoa, I haven’t written in a long time! Sorry about that! My boss has been telling us this whole time that once May hits, time just speeds up and before you know it the semester is done, but I didn’t really believe him until now. It seemed like I blinked once and suddenly everything was over! I’ll get to graduation in a minute, but I feel like a recap is in order.

Hit the Road, Jack!

Nǐ hǎo!

This weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a long time! It had been a rough couple of weeks with one thing after another piling up on my mind. Finally the weekend came and I just couldn’t take it anymore, so it was time to pack my bags and hit the road! I’ve come to determine that there are few things more therapeutic than good friends, loud music, and driving, so as we reached the highway and cranked the tunes all I could think was “Hallelujah!”

The World Just Keeps On Turning

Nǐ hǎo!

Well, I have collected a few fun stories to share since I last wrote, but for the most part life has been plugging along like normal out here on my little island. Any chill in the air that we may have experienced in January and February is gone and Taiwan is growing balmier each day. Temperature-wise it isn’t really hot, but the sunshine and humidity make it feel pretty warm. The forecast is showing showers all week, so I am looking forward to a little bit of cloudiness!

Chinese New Year!

Nǐ hǎo!

I have had an incredible time over the past two weeks as we have celebrated Chinese New Year and Peace Day here in Taiwan! I wish I could share all of the stories of our festivities but I don’t think I’d ever stop writing, so I will just pick my favorites instead.

Riding in Cars With... Police?

Nǐ hǎo!

I can’t believe how fast time is flying! I know that it is only February, but one week from tomorrow we will be ¼ of the way through the semester. We’ve already had so many great experiences, I’m excited to see what new adventures are waiting for me.

Well, one of my favorite stories so far occurred just a few weeks ago in Taichung, which is where most of life’s little surprises tend to have snuck up on us here so far.

Taiwan: Take One

Picture
Nǐ hǎo! 

It is so weird to think that I’ve only been in Taiwan for three weeks now. In some ways it feels so natural that it’s like I’ve been here forever! That’s definitely not to say that there haven’t been some new and surprising experiences, though.


To begin, Feng Yuan is so different from the US and Europe! Obviously. I knew it would be, but being here has just shown me how incredibly different cultures can
