Look at me! I can blog

Well Hello from Taiwan! 

So for a quick little update. As of July 1st I am now living in Taiwan in a one of the bigger cities called  Changhua. Most days I feel like I live on another planet. I am teaching english at a school called Maryland Language Institution and boy does it keep me busy! I start work around 8:30 and don't come home till around 7:00 or 8:00 depends on the day. But the kids are just so dang cute and fun (most of the time).

I live in an apartment about a 7 minute bike ride from the school. There are three others teachers also living here and are, lucky for me, very fun and friendly. Phil and Mandy are the married couple and there is one other girl named Bree. (I'll try and add pictures soon).

I will probably gain a thousand pounds while I am here because the food is so amazing. I love it all. Everyday at school there is a lady who cooks lunch for us and shes probably like a fairy godmother. Her food is HEAVENLY! (except when she throws a few unwanted ingredients in). I pretty much can die happy after lunch everyday. Mangos are in season right now and sometimes I feel like I should shower in them. They are so incredibly sweet and delicious its hard not to eat one for every meal. The pineapple are the same way. There is a tea shop close to our apartment that also sells "bing-shaw" which is like a slushy/slurpee but with real fruit and Ice. I have already had at least five Mango binshaw from there in the last few weeks, But my favorite food so far is the sushi. I can NOT get enough of it. I can't tell you all the kinds I have tried because 1. the list would be too long and 2. I don't even know what all of it was. When they don't speak english I just eat it. haha. But so far no vomiting has happened. 

It truly is a beautiful magical place and I love it here. Of course it's not home and I do miss everyone but i don't regret coming here at all. It has been a huge joy and blessing and I hope to record some awesome adventures that await me.

Love from Taiwan
