The past few months have been filled with activities, new developments in my life and many festivities. I'll try to be brief and use as many pictures as possible. Sorry if they are not in chronological order.
This is our pretty much private beach in Kaohsiung. It's usually empty and it has become a weekly activity to go and just chill.
I had to leave my high schoolers and all of my classes threw me a goodbye party and gave me cards and cakes. I miss them.
We went to Toroko National Park on the East Coast for a weekend. Beautiful place!
The East Coast of the island is amazing! Green mountains, blue skies, jade hunting rivers, clean ocean!Christmas Time!!!!
We ate dinner, watched movies and had a sleep over at our place. The next morning we played jenga, went to the mall, and ate lots and lots of good food!!
Me and Anya were Courtney's and Ben's dates for their school's Christmas party! So fun!
Got a motorcycle as my Christmas present to myself! His name is Dylan and I have enjoyed driving it a lot!I also got a new job! I work with kindergardners now, full time (22 hours a week). Love them. These are from the day we went to the museum.
This is Peacock Class - Big class (5-6 year olds)
This is Rabbit Class (Middle Class - 4 year olds)
Dragon Class (Babies - 2-3 year olds)
This is from my School's Chinese New Year party. All of the Chinese teachers danced to really cheesy music wearing super short skirts while the English teachers drummed tamborines and maracas.
These are my coworkers from Walton School (the other branch) dancing to YMCA by the Village People. Uh-mazing!Chinese New Year Break!!
I am currently enjoying my week long vacation from work and loving it! My friend Jenna came to visit from China so for the first part of the week we both set out to explore the southern part of Taiwan.
2 girls+1 motorcycle+tent and sleeping bags= ramdom and crazy!!
This is the beach where we camped the first night. Our second night we camped at a random orchard in the middle of nowhere, and the third night in an empty junior high where we met up with some friends.
Cool field on the way back
We were supposed to cross the island east-west through the Southern Cross Island highway, a beautiful drive. We were surprised when after driving on it for about an hour we made a pit stop at a hotel and they told us the road was closed ahead. yup... we had to go back! We were soaked and freezing, so we decided to stay at the hotel for the night and enjoy the hot springs in the misty day in the middle of the gorge. So beautiful! Wish I had taken pictures. This is us after a good night of sleep on a BED! We are happy and this time prepared for the rain!
A minor accident. Oops.
This road was crazy! Super curvy, up and down hill, one lane for two ways! SCARY but super fun!I'll try to keep updating the blog more often. Life happens very fast! I can't believe I've been gone for more than 7 months now!! Love you all!
