Hi everyone--
Wow, I've been here 3 weeks already--the time just flies! I really meant to update more often than this. Well, here goes. Since arriving at midnight June 5th, 2007 I have:
Moved into my new apt
Met my roommate, Frankie, who is from the UK
Started teaching English (almost right away)
Eaten a plethora of things I can't recognize
Drunk a lot of green tea concoctions
Met some other OMF partners (not all of them yet)
Gone to "English Church" (its name is Bread of Life)
Gone to the Boat Races on Love River in Kaohsiung
Traveled to Taroko Gorge in Eastern Taiwan
Gone to Lotus Pond in Kaohsiung
Learned to say apple, watermelon, and "to go" (ordering food to go) in Mandarin Chinese
And had 2 scooter riding lessons
Whew! I've done both a lot and not much. My roommate says sometimes it's all you can do to just do one new thing every day. I think she's right. Most of me pictures are up on facebook, so if you want to see more than what I put here you'll have to go there.

Hi Jamie,
You are a busy lady! I am curious..is the main form of transportation a scooter there? I usually see them on TV. It always looks like a big jumble of traffic. Are the green tea concoctions for health purposes or just good tasting? Thanks for the interesting blog and I hope you add another soon. Continuing prayers for you...
