So I might back track a little in the posts to come. I have been teaching the basic reading class. It is quite the experience. I have worked pretty much everyday with these kids and now I get them all to myself. Which can be a great thing and a bad thing. My students say the funniest things. For example "teacher may I touch you". Then ask this because I don't have the greatest circulation so sometimes my skin turns red/purple. So they love to grab me. One of my students will just call me over to say teacher I need help( when he really doesn't). While I am teaching him my mad manuscript skills. He immediately grabs my arms and starts staring. I have to remind him to watch how I write the letters. This is also the student that goes into the splits on a daily basis(in his chair). I have to say Frank stop doing the splits in your chair and sit the right way.<br />Then there is Yoyo one day we were in the kitchen and we were talking about what would happen if we didn't cut our hair? All the boys said "then we would look like girls". Yoyo said and like MJ! He then jumped out of his chair and started singing beat it and doing what looks like a MJ dance. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. He also occasionally swears which I really don't mind because it makes me laugh every time. I really bring this out in my students mainly because I entertain them and they entertain me. He also is the only one that catches if I swear in class. He will usually laugh like a little girl and say Teacher. I love teaching this age.<br />Then there is Rolland one of the oddest little Asians I have worked with. He usually is in his own little world. All the sudden he will stand up and start swinging his arms in the air and starts karate chopping the air. I just stare wondering if he is noticing that he has an audience watching. One time we were playing a game where we think of as many words as we as we can that start with a certain letter. Well the letter was "S" and of coarse one students said "Shit" I said ok and just didn't write it on the board. Then Rolland came up to me. He whispered in my ear "teacher and spells S A R S then quickly says SARS" I start to laugh and said very good. I mean these little Asians are well aware of what is going on in the world. I mean I was looking for more of the words like sun or stop but wait to think out side the box. I just couldn't wait until we got to the letter "h" I was waiting for one of them to say H1N1. Well Rolland is a very smart kid. He loves to just come up to me while I'm at my desk and say the most random things. He also tells me to go to Sherry everyday like I am introuble.<br />Then there is Andy he loves to talk about how one time this died and then that died etc... I think it might be because of the age. His typical response to all of my stories are "I have seen(with of course a head nod)". I always say Andy what have you seen? He usually responds ok ok. Andy is the one that reminds me of the boy off of Indiana Jones. I sometimes can get him to say "Dr. Jones". I love it.<br />Then there is the girls. They are the talkers. I usually have to say ok teachers turn to talk.<br />Ella is so adorable she is my favorite. She also reminds me when I am leaving to go back to America. She then will say teacher you should stay I will miss you. Then she says I will cry. She also reminds me that I can stay. But then I remind her that Rae Rae misses me. My students very much so want to meet Grandma Rae Rae.<br />Ella will say every 2 seconds say teacher I tell you something. This story usually consists of how her brother is so mean to her. Cindy is full of energy and a lot of fun. Then there is Minnie she will put you in your place. She is a very smart girl she is 6 going on 30.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLpEqjwDg44kcRnOOmxT70UiH4nfvcpMzrX6tVZvPs6xJyGxReB_RXzKJzG6rJ3p1ZrFCJ4dYcQhi6UwAs8P0EisYvjVQIAA5xUfOqg_2EtxVOletrSUxLX60JxxuC0U8eYFA_0cASF0M/s1600-h/schoolpic+019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

She loves to draw pictures for me. The first one is a family portrait. Notice that Cindy has yellow golden hair. I believe that she just might have an identity issue. She always tells me that she is not Taiwanese she is American. Then she says teacher you are Taiwanese. Sometimes I just go with it encouraging her infatuation of becoming American. Then notice the picture that she drew of me. I didn't know that I was turning Asian.

A town that is known for their beautiful sunrises. But because of the Typhoon Morakot. The train is out of order. But the town has set up a shuttle system for tourists can still come to Alishan. We headed up the mountain in a mini van. Which is quite the ride up to the top. Talk about experiencing car sickness and we had a crazy driver. I kept thinking we were going to die.

We had to talk to them about living in Taiwan and some of the funny and interesting things that we have experienced. We were then assigned to our own little posse of Asians. My group was very nice we were very competitive too. Oh and only two really spoke English to me. We played basketball and I am a very aggressive player. I think this really threw them off. I also enjoyed the one named Thomas because all he knew was profanities. So playing basketball was funny. We then went inside where we ate pizza. My group was very nice and took good care of me. They poured me drinks and even cut my pizza. So pretty much I was spoiled all day. After that we went paint balling and then kayaking. It was quite a fun filled day.<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHOyRAOcamkPXQcilLcmMKa8QeAZsW39MQjy4wNiGB77-V_bkNnNvNKPAZHi-kpe_T-6XhDR2rgUwKMLhzLbmO9UhSqtcCFTt1C2KWyystZxIaP14ftR-0Px05Ez_AcdsOIaQcRjbdjM/s1600/alishan+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We went to the township of Jiji. You have to be very careful in pronouncing this town in the right tone. Because if you don't it would translate to penis town. This is the main reason that I have not been able to pick up the language as well as I would have liked mainly out of fear of offending or embarrassing myself. So I just kept referring to it as J town. It was a beautiful little town we did some bike riding on electrical bikes of course. We didn't want to over do it. Oh and some racing on go karts making a fun filled day.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXynodKEhD3oFLGmcodOmSeSGLSnF8f8Dqw0hE4zI8KGv-e6Wg0u5UegHUN6AceYHuKjk2gP6fgSYOT850xNsCqzopfAlGhiQ5uXHS0YqADpwVYhbiykkonB5m02Xzp7Vnp2IuxFulnQs/s1600-h/jiji+109.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Tabbi and I went on a home visit with Cindy Yang. I call her Cindy Lou and she does not like it but that is the only way I can get her attention. She also calls me Hanna Lou. She is in my basic reading class and she has a bad case of ADHD. I love it mainly because I have just about the same attention span as her and it is never a dull moment. We went to the art museum in Taichung it was really interesting. There is nothing more freakier than a collage of pictures of conjoined twins. I just wish I could of taken a picture of this. We went to the childrens area where we just chased Cindy all over the place. We then went to lunch and then ate some tiramisu and some gelato. I love going on home visits but it seems like I am painfully full. Cindy is the funniest little girl. She tells me all the time that she is not Taiwanese she is American. Which she totally seems more American. She is loud and all over the place and a lot of fun. I sure do like that Cindy Lou!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4eIWnSlA9fykIsXUuT5ESZ0YQuV-ASO5gpQKwLrosyKWAuQI1uhbPkDJJRLNf5e1rj3epwEK-Ojkulq-iy9YkeU6imrY13QFZ2xhRDaCg4adWqApsiAHknlRcPME1Asssk8u86CWEaes/s1600-h/Cindylou+045.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4eIWnSlA9fykIsXUuT5ESZ0YQuV-ASO5gpQKwLrosyKWAuQI1uhbPkDJJRLNf5e1rj3epwEK-Ojkulq-iy9YkeU6imrY13QFZ2xhRDaCg4adWqApsiAHknlRcPME1Asssk8u86CWEaes/s320/Cindylou+045.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386166671527050482" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZ9eLLmRP51jXifHqcXphSEfCZ6qlpQHpzg9SIbDki0FLF27AktS80zLaStO4dz7cxgH76lqdNi_LbFNwi8WW1NdrB_Z-F2UJjDAfLyaaSK8n2yekJGF-8TG64hZKV27CnZgVXlUSTBY/s1600-h/Cindylou+092.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihZ9eLLmRP51jXifHqcXphSEfCZ6qlpQHpzg9SIbDki0FLF27AktS80zLaStO4dz7cxgH76lqdNi_LbFNwi8WW1NdrB_Z-F2UJjDAfLyaaSK8n2yekJGF-8TG64hZKV27CnZgVXlUSTBY/s320/Cindylou+092.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386166686942703602" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTfAlU2x6P-3etoR5tFb92Fn4aX9vtcG7VOImZiBkb7BY7rngPlOWDCaKuJNN4CbQSU-TtvWmpnyXsNQ4o4spwGuX-D_ikj-UItyN3l0PQaFxpLQ1ev3fz4sZwhrKzPnIEmV6sCvfth0/s1600-h/Cindylou+043.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTfAlU2x6P-3etoR5tFb92Fn4aX9vtcG7VOImZiBkb7BY7rngPlOWDCaKuJNN4CbQSU-TtvWmpnyXsNQ4o4spwGuX-D_ikj-UItyN3l0PQaFxpLQ1ev3fz4sZwhrKzPnIEmV6sCvfth0/s320/Cindylou+043.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386166678379847202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJD_vmslC3hiqKuRAnE4521NNI7kswfG0eAzBhj_hrr-RsC799EZNjzeikSTZWy7FkhJzJbPiTtS4OozhJUayUYRoE759utPrzMAEQnWyyQ2Yd7YBEKf_qnVl_6y5J1S97sN3MsD3eaE/s1600-h/Cindylou+096.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJD_vmslC3hiqKuRAnE4521NNI7kswfG0eAzBhj_hrr-RsC799EZNjzeikSTZWy7FkhJzJbPiTtS4OozhJUayUYRoE759utPrzMAEQnWyyQ2Yd7YBEKf_qnVl_6y5J1S97sN3MsD3eaE/s320/Cindylou+096.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386166696264179394" border="0" /></a>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-33956065642401446762009-09-13T16:15:00.011+08:002009-09-27T22:08:04.702+08:00Got Crabs?The Gaomei Wetlands sure does.A couple of weeks ago Torry, Tabbi, Tanier and I decided to check out the wetlands and live adventurously and walk in the murky 2 inch water. When I say adventurously I mean that I did not get recommended shots when I came to Taiwan. The water seems like breeding ground for disease or something. But I guess I like to live on edge. They had so many little crabs all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised if I stepped on one of them. They are fast little things and as soon as you moved they would scurry to their hole. The creepy thing was standing in the mud and you can hear them moving around. The hard part was holding still and it was crazy to watch all of them come out of their holes and move about.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_GZlLjEnYTvqRuierBJbD7sfmDjT2tu6aP2J3yi44FIpZ7RJG6vwzYDuF5FEN5OlhTQpta_kh20SfD_Y2DowZMh9JEENed8jELNOpUZg3ejVwTxV4mwFrB2RN7ks1vR7aiLAdAVpRs8/s1600-h/gaomei+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6_GZlLjEnYTvqRuierBJbD7sfmDjT2tu6aP2J3yi44FIpZ7RJG6vwzYDuF5FEN5OlhTQpta_kh20SfD_Y2DowZMh9JEENed8jELNOpUZg3ejVwTxV4mwFrB2RN7ks1vR7aiLAdAVpRs8/s320/gaomei+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386100285266991778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQtAUROD0oXSBaMHZb63FIbEifeQup2jTdfnPAHLgt9C6OO08lzyZlQEHWFrOKJTwlV1G0tx3ov-DlV9qspsiQHgztGf8WyCAMZEYM0LjwYMYAZF1b1ic1xwpv7wijkOM1epnidO8FUVs/s1600-h/gaomei+011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQtAUROD0oXSBaMHZb63FIbEifeQup2jTdfnPAHLgt9C6OO08lzyZlQEHWFrOKJTwlV1G0tx3ov-DlV9qspsiQHgztGf8WyCAMZEYM0LjwYMYAZF1b1ic1xwpv7wijkOM1epnidO8FUVs/s320/gaomei+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386100295291705090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1iyvrS3b03_4oFPvK72XzFURegECemSnF6T80_SGVSp8A3h69J8fsrxW1hgQeKze6QRvGUZXeQJicIUAgzmw2PedD1Zt9ZNnDpLcuBqPzDBNHd2rvOcChGveE8bpTd1UgTbnAvXVK18/s1600-h/gaomei+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV1iyvrS3b03_4oFPvK72XzFURegECemSnF6T80_SGVSp8A3h69J8fsrxW1hgQeKze6QRvGUZXeQJicIUAgzmw2PedD1Zt9ZNnDpLcuBqPzDBNHd2rvOcChGveE8bpTd1UgTbnAvXVK18/s320/gaomei+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385796046832837954" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDIphYAuomZhyIxaQwRiZsKaStO-614R61VcroOPeRep5y2jAn4F00RHsw1xHRpXxXRYV7PCW1rjK-Bd28Pmt78qTvAbEXUv0-aGV_F9kVMGFaWr0C1BVoOyiTE79QWqCdFEjBxFGq1xE/s1600-h/gaomei+013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDIphYAuomZhyIxaQwRiZsKaStO-614R61VcroOPeRep5y2jAn4F00RHsw1xHRpXxXRYV7PCW1rjK-Bd28Pmt78qTvAbEXUv0-aGV_F9kVMGFaWr0C1BVoOyiTE79QWqCdFEjBxFGq1xE/s320/gaomei+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386100304477106610" border="0" /></a>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-52526312486133968872009-09-13T15:35:00.008+08:002009-09-13T16:13:45.890+08:00Dogs of TaiwanSo here in Taiwan there are two classes of dogs. High class where dogs are carried as if their legs are going to break. Then there is the low class where the dogs look like they are from a third world country and that they have had one too many litters(they could use a spaying and neutering program over here). One day I was headed out to get some food and there was a woman with what looked like a small stroller. I thought to myself maybe she is crazy and has a baby doll in there. There is no possible way a chubby Asian baby could fit in there. I of course had to check it out. To my surprise it was a dog stroller with a fluffy white dog. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXfRa9SKzS8YKTvnd4aMcGTGHlN4WFcCGopHaQVv1CQVCx3aRXkSeR5H3jmvDphTyR-qS4sydRS7pBX-UpNnaYAB-B8sc4ZuQUXTkrXBoarst-jJX4epUbRxw1gJTJyfnpGls4vygpmKk/s1600-h/dogstroller.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXfRa9SKzS8YKTvnd4aMcGTGHlN4WFcCGopHaQVv1CQVCx3aRXkSeR5H3jmvDphTyR-qS4sydRS7pBX-UpNnaYAB-B8sc4ZuQUXTkrXBoarst-jJX4epUbRxw1gJTJyfnpGls4vygpmKk/s320/dogstroller.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380860263174227010" border="0" /></a> I asked some locals is this normal behavior? I mean I know that the majority of dogs that I see have short legs. There is nothing funnier than watching a wiener dog running down the street. I was told that a lot of people are not having children so instead they just get a dog. I also told him that I think the Taiwanese might have felt bad about eating dogs earlier so they are just making up for it now. They care a lot about the safety and well being of their dogs I mean who cares about if their child has a helmet on but as for the family dog. Safety first!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSTCxJTUNTaEULAVwk9gPYYpZIQHe7P8ymeNTh2t2WIT28pULp2gEmlaRLfY50n1PnJQOX9MWelRbQROxj9iuZJQoGS7oPGQbWdsuNJZoK6gR9UChIjSiK7aebvktAXQOdh5qKomEEEmQ/s1600-h/gaomei+029.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSTCxJTUNTaEULAVwk9gPYYpZIQHe7P8ymeNTh2t2WIT28pULp2gEmlaRLfY50n1PnJQOX9MWelRbQROxj9iuZJQoGS7oPGQbWdsuNJZoK6gR9UChIjSiK7aebvktAXQOdh5qKomEEEmQ/s320/gaomei+029.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380861291600578994" border="0" /></a> In 2004 Taiwan banned the selling/eating of dog meat. But don't you worry one of my students parents said they still have it you just have to request it. I think this parent was a little confused because earlier he asked me if I liked dogs? I said oh yes I love dogs. I guess next time if I am asked if I like dogs.

So I hung out with Colin and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Janae</span> and we decided to go shopping at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Chongyo</span> department store in Taichung. So we are checking out everything and they said oh you have to see these bathrooms. Every bathroom has a theme. I checked out the fish one, Basketball, Coca-Cola and the Jungle. Which there were a lot more bathrooms that I could have seen but we just didn't have the time. Viewing all of these bathrooms I asked them about a restaurant called the Modern Toilet. We decided that since we were viewing all of these bathrooms we might as well go eat at the modern Toilet. The Asians are very funny about poop. They love it and giggle over it. They even make candy resembling it. I of course was very curious about this place so I had to see what all the fuss was about. You sit on toilets while you eat food that is served to you in a mini toilet. They also sell specialty drinks that are served in what looks like a toilet cleaner container. So of course we a took a lot of pictures but every Asian would sit on the toilets and make a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">grimacing</span> face as they took the picture. The restaurant was funny and the food was very tasty. I will definitely be going back. Oh and to top it off I saw one of the things I love most at least top of the list next to fat Asian babies.

So the typhoon hit quite some time ago I'm a little late on the uptake. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Morakot</span> did quite the damage to Taiwan. It killed around 500 people. Most of those people were buried by a landslide. It was very sad. My direct experience with the typhoon was this. All I knew was that school was canceled for one day. Which meant that me and my roommates headed for the grocery store for some food. Mainly because we didn't know what to expect. This was the busiest I have ever seen this store. One man came out of the store with huge cases of beer smiling and saying typhoon! typhoon! typhoon! The Taiwanese take this very seriously. Meaning they are prepared and it seemed that everyone was loving it. Probably because it meant a day off from work and school where they could just watch TV(the Taiwanese love TV) their house might look like a dump but they usually are sporting a plasma TV. When I saw the man with all the alcohol I kept thinking well what kind of supplies are we really going to need. So of course I immediately thought chocolate is going to be a necessity. When I was done shopping and waiting in the longest line ever. Looking at all that I purchased it looked as if I just have major munchies. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBqocYLeK98NTyMKwbdouXm9oH0rDRR2WkE-WcMjTGl65PgJxRMGSjUjvBRZ2Du2JxSLEBTKVZnq0wE5yseKMSEgggld1NPzghps4eYBcqXVv6eBOgYMkueaZ5JatibjhgJ9DnropYwU/s1600-h/flood+008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBqocYLeK98NTyMKwbdouXm9oH0rDRR2WkE-WcMjTGl65PgJxRMGSjUjvBRZ2Du2JxSLEBTKVZnq0wE5yseKMSEgggld1NPzghps4eYBcqXVv6eBOgYMkueaZ5JatibjhgJ9DnropYwU/s320/flood+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371698877830857634" border="0" /></a>I had chips fruit tea and chocolate. I was definitely going to survive this typhoon. Before the typhoon hit the winds were so crazy and I did go outside for a second because I thought I was going to go crazy. The security guard shook there head at me when I headed out. Our windows were really shaky and you would occasionally hear the shattering of windows. After the wind stopped it was so weird because there was a mist that went on for a while then we had some major rainfall. I think one of the days it was around 20 inches. Parts of our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">neighborhood</span> flooded. We were inside for a total of three days which I thought I was going to go crazy I have never watched that many movies before. My main concern was that I was going to experience bed sores I felt so confined to my bed. Which I am happy to report that there were no bed sores and I was so excited to actually go to work.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKtkX6VU1z6ml2pGJvGLZWaZ2xF1eQIqGsUb7vm4cxnMMFC54uT-Weo4GbxZxBg5VJ0xJlecGQsLy4Uh3pn06wCdN_DqCkOJ51Rikocp9MabavFFb-ngsyBlnQBWzKCm1hHw7r5dG2YM/s1600-h/flood+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKtkX6VU1z6ml2pGJvGLZWaZ2xF1eQIqGsUb7vm4cxnMMFC54uT-Weo4GbxZxBg5VJ0xJlecGQsLy4Uh3pn06wCdN_DqCkOJ51Rikocp9MabavFFb-ngsyBlnQBWzKCm1hHw7r5dG2YM/s320/flood+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371698875486930354" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRN1sCsnUJ6Mke1X8C15jYSirNSq3lxVGfgQdRfD5QIZN_qrAcClTmSI2ArjifG2kr61xf2DnEqw_GnJlTtcM2L2LzDFzbpULiKoflCEG7i8vMvwBViSYFn7v1jBZwvXUc2xa4JYwpyRY/s1600-h/flood+011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRN1sCsnUJ6Mke1X8C15jYSirNSq3lxVGfgQdRfD5QIZN_qrAcClTmSI2ArjifG2kr61xf2DnEqw_GnJlTtcM2L2LzDFzbpULiKoflCEG7i8vMvwBViSYFn7v1jBZwvXUc2xa4JYwpyRY/s320/flood+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371698895608725938" border="0" /></a>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-82740340216596475212009-08-03T21:47:00.011+08:002009-08-04T20:05:50.571+08:00Sweating It OutWell Yesterday we went to Taichung. I did a little of the church thing then I did some shopping and a girl came up to me and said "Excuse me would you take a picture with me?" Of coarse I said yes because I just cannot say no. So we were in front of this big department store with a stage and backdrop. We got up to the stage and she turned to me and said "ok superman poise" I thought what the hell? I immediately go into wonder woman poise. I really didn't know how superman poises so she said oh like this. To me it I could only compare it to the Heisman's trophy poise with an Asian twist(which of coarse included a peace sign). After the picture was taken I found it only fair that she be in a picture with me. However I just told her to smile pretty simple request.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW9gMPll6MK6-8OGc8gUsA-HVtyUk_9t4ZEpDogzDWMJ3olU5Uro6AJTrfum5NjjvIu-KVG7p5hvQbCl4zYGfUAFQ0jzgPR21EwkRcIuTECOdW8Qnh0VeNO6_PBP4ydkWAOwtdV7Vq2I0/s1600-h/taichung+012.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW9gMPll6MK6-8OGc8gUsA-HVtyUk_9t4ZEpDogzDWMJ3olU5Uro6AJTrfum5NjjvIu-KVG7p5hvQbCl4zYGfUAFQ0jzgPR21EwkRcIuTECOdW8Qnh0VeNO6_PBP4ydkWAOwtdV7Vq2I0/s320/taichung+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365781086842624210" border="0" /></a>I then met up with the girls and we also met up with Charles. We headed to the science museum where we watched a 4D movie and it was awesome. I fell asleep towards the end due to the heat and exhaustion. We went to lunch and then the Taichung Metropolitan Park. This is where we walked around and played a little try to pull up a beer bottle with a stick and string. Quite challenging. I for one do not have the coordination or the patience that this requires. Walking around the park made me realize how much I dislike the hot humid weather here. I mean I am used to hot weather and sweating but the whole sweating and holding on to it all day is not something I would call fun. On a more positive note. I saw two things that I just love. Lots of Asian babies and pocket bikes.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd7ggb2qoLH5BjclF0xjiQFs6knYMuL4a9eoPtQilIm2g8XMvgZMhKGA2-DTUCMPNG1E4homwvUXnZ52cICnNLG1vIvZXBaIRI2rKPts2k2ddUv2fEvT-JEi8SCtlCZLByBNPL9xmFXSw/s1600-h/taichung+016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd7ggb2qoLH5BjclF0xjiQFs6knYMuL4a9eoPtQilIm2g8XMvgZMhKGA2-DTUCMPNG1E4homwvUXnZ52cICnNLG1vIvZXBaIRI2rKPts2k2ddUv2fEvT-JEi8SCtlCZLByBNPL9xmFXSw/s320/taichung+016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365788263236125666" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOidfO_1d5hbW5wnW_Hy1A9ChyphenhyphenmNRRSm7i1pxTFxo4hVB9oeJH3MePTK5ZwxRGnqJ2Ux-Oj1xFyc0P7OreDmLNORYfgBpghx94Ld8WuQ-1U9GqzdfmaMyzsz7kNXwPY3aUau1PmMzbj2g/s1600-h/taichung+013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOidfO_1d5hbW5wnW_Hy1A9ChyphenhyphenmNRRSm7i1pxTFxo4hVB9oeJH3MePTK5ZwxRGnqJ2Ux-Oj1xFyc0P7OreDmLNORYfgBpghx94Ld8WuQ-1U9GqzdfmaMyzsz7kNXwPY3aUau1PmMzbj2g/s320/taichung+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366074147148948578" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUASkg5maBSiIwYYhiNBxTA9bOR33nkkSLvpFZuCLtSQrSW84fTevtcyF6F1ZqlWbkY0zDbRO_MJW1kYTUPggo0OnHBcmU7vS24Fz-gboPNVmGRAEdYVKLsF7rRpzR2T_EKg1D5WZXpE/s1600-h/taichung+016.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiUASkg5maBSiIwYYhiNBxTA9bOR33nkkSLvpFZuCLtSQrSW84fTevtcyF6F1ZqlWbkY0zDbRO_MJW1kYTUPggo0OnHBcmU7vS24Fz-gboPNVmGRAEdYVKLsF7rRpzR2T_EKg1D5WZXpE/s320/taichung+016.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365781092851784274" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UPCDGdyNtr2CpI25MIgKGTSmSS-JcjRdIColEV2L76SuBwduHdlX6lZoRMbizV-GY7_gqQASkjA_3nkCnhGqKBOiJzSokgqWxsKyKjb5nYZ8yIwHMZRodjLaCvYeq367pNuSGjUJQcY/s1600-h/5260_245304270369_756160369_8112690_7421046_n.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0UPCDGdyNtr2CpI25MIgKGTSmSS-JcjRdIColEV2L76SuBwduHdlX6lZoRMbizV-GY7_gqQASkjA_3nkCnhGqKBOiJzSokgqWxsKyKjb5nYZ8yIwHMZRodjLaCvYeq367pNuSGjUJQcY/s320/5260_245304270369_756160369_8112690_7421046_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366074138366420434" border="0" /></a>This is the look of frustration<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic5t4ETbT2qKi-fO7ABRuSCNd0OxQezbGUbVfFjwauoJ9ZQ1NII8VNpRO7CmhTV1y7MCgMdzVNOzCZ2yjfCOhKhyphenhyphenEBGuURXUSdi2EiSyhZnF1K5qmyCMgmSz0xSIBVbNa2kX1Nf5Nhcls/s1600-h/taichung+008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic5t4ETbT2qKi-fO7ABRuSCNd0OxQezbGUbVfFjwauoJ9ZQ1NII8VNpRO7CmhTV1y7MCgMdzVNOzCZ2yjfCOhKhyphenhyphenEBGuURXUSdi2EiSyhZnF1K5qmyCMgmSz0xSIBVbNa2kX1Nf5Nhcls/s320/taichung+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365788255252751906" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgR6HRbRGVSG8PE39ffXToXG3tDLnqjyW40WqvPz0Xl8mv2S83Z3Uv6-cOlTY8SWaAR2LxlgR50JGac9Qu6YpzdCCx2MFKLQKoostSu7KODT98EX7wKyQMjdiuEG74DGi0z_hqTO7-PmE/s1600-h/taichung+006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgR6HRbRGVSG8PE39ffXToXG3tDLnqjyW40WqvPz0Xl8mv2S83Z3Uv6-cOlTY8SWaAR2LxlgR50JGac9Qu6YpzdCCx2MFKLQKoostSu7KODT98EX7wKyQMjdiuEG74DGi0z_hqTO7-PmE/s320/taichung+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365788253992237346" border="0" /></a>Sarah and I testing out the hats<br /></div>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-62339153351949689182009-07-20T20:14:00.018+08:002009-07-27T21:49:36.208+08:00Kaohsiung World Games<span style="font-family: webdings;">Well we tried to make it to sumo wrestling and it was sold out. We still decided to go to Kaohsiung and see what it is all about. So we all decided to head out we brought Julia with us who goes to school in Kaohsiung to show us around. When we got there she called her friend Charles who showed us all around the town. It was quite relaxing having Charles showing us the town and not having to worry about if we were going to get lost. I also kept saying "Charles in Charge" he would laugh and say yes I am I like. We went all over the place and sometimes I kept thinking that on Asian standards that Charles might have a longer stride compared to the norm because I felt like he was always way ahead of the rest of the group. I love the randomness of Taiwan. Meaning the different people you meet and the things that they say to you. I also like that most of the people that you meet will end the conversion by saying Welcome To Taiwan. I guess it is good to feel welcomed in Taiwan.</span> <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-family: webdings;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgijMPCWFNKeVsFDgLAyB-7QhEHs1F_CCLj4JzIUrnzLBMJuKwGTMOWTUAjb4EaNavmVykI9N2y8tj9LGR0-b8S-Gqaa6_JHFOEgbbPDD6wrnPHCh9L0BBtOF0V3UEU4sQqFLfZrtjt02I/s1600-h/wg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

So I might back track a little in the posts to come. I have been teaching the basic reading class. It is quite the experience. I have worked pretty much everyday with these kids and now I get them all to myself. Which can be a great thing and a bad thing. My students say the funniest things. For example "teacher may I touch you". Then ask this because I don't have the greatest circulation so sometimes my skin turns red/purple. So they love to grab me. One of my students will just call me over to say teacher I need help( when he really doesn't). While I am teaching him my mad manuscript skills. He immediately grabs my arms and starts staring. I have to remind him to watch how I write the letters. This is also the student that goes into the splits on a daily basis(in his chair). I have to say Frank stop doing the splits in your chair and sit the right way.<br />Then there is Yoyo one day we were in the kitchen and we were talking about what would happen if we didn't cut our hair? All the boys said "then we would look like girls". Yoyo said and like MJ! He then jumped out of his chair and started singing beat it and doing what looks like a MJ dance. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. He also occasionally swears which I really don't mind because it makes me laugh every time. I really bring this out in my students mainly because I entertain them and they entertain me. He also is the only one that catches if I swear in class. He will usually laugh like a little girl and say Teacher. I love teaching this age.<br />Then there is Rolland one of the oddest little Asians I have worked with. He usually is in his own little world. All the sudden he will stand up and start swinging his arms in the air and starts karate chopping the air. I just stare wondering if he is noticing that he has an audience watching. One time we were playing a game where we think of as many words as we as we can that start with a certain letter. Well the letter was "S" and of coarse one students said "Shit" I said ok and just didn't write it on the board. Then Rolland came up to me. He whispered in my ear "teacher and spells S A R S then quickly says SARS" I start to laugh and said very good. I mean these little Asians are well aware of what is going on in the world. I mean I was looking for more of the words like sun or stop but wait to think out side the box. I just couldn't wait until we got to the letter "h" I was waiting for one of them to say H1N1. Well Rolland is a very smart kid. He loves to just come up to me while I'm at my desk and say the most random things. He also tells me to go to Sherry everyday like I am introuble.<br />Then there is Andy he loves to talk about how one time this died and then that died etc... I think it might be because of the age. His typical response to all of my stories are "I have seen(with of course a head nod)". I always say Andy what have you seen? He usually responds ok ok. Andy is the one that reminds me of the boy off of Indiana Jones. I sometimes can get him to say "Dr. Jones". I love it.<br />Then there is the girls. They are the talkers. I usually have to say ok teachers turn to talk.<br />Ella is so adorable she is my favorite. She also reminds me when I am leaving to go back to America. She then will say teacher you should stay I will miss you. Then she says I will cry. She also reminds me that I can stay. But then I remind her that Rae Rae misses me. My students very much so want to meet Grandma Rae Rae.<br />Ella will say every 2 seconds say teacher I tell you something. This story usually consists of how her brother is so mean to her. Cindy is full of energy and a lot of fun. Then there is Minnie she will put you in your place. She is a very smart girl she is 6 going on 30.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLpEqjwDg44kcRnOOmxT70UiH4nfvcpMzrX6tVZvPs6xJyGxReB_RXzKJzG6rJ3p1ZrFCJ4dYcQhi6UwAs8P0EisYvjVQIAA5xUfOqg_2EtxVOletrSUxLX60JxxuC0U8eYFA_0cASF0M/s1600-h/schoolpic+019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

So I am very much attached. I am going to miss them so much. I have learned a lot and had some amazing experiences living in Taiwan. I get teary eyed thinking about leaving them. But it is time to move on to the next adventure. They have promised that they will write to me and if they come to America they will visit me. I can honestly say that I have the cutest students alive. These little Asians will always have a place in my heart.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-90983784786389045152009-07-09T00:00:00.008+08:002009-07-09T19:29:07.176+08:00Some Of My Favorite Little Asians<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2xuQO0UOOI4_OOGeco99gmnP97qI4LY8KyKnPkZJOUs-PJF_tdwBzk5hJjKBUa9s6i95eZO-GeryUlv4QMJO26lqCBGiQbhm8qVd4SsnABoCZoWPMYnJeKInuQmdR2n6KTeLX7YiMIo/s1600-h/Taiwan+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh2xuQO0UOOI4_OOGeco99gmnP97qI4LY8KyKnPkZJOUs-PJF_tdwBzk5hJjKBUa9s6i95eZO-GeryUlv4QMJO26lqCBGiQbhm8qVd4SsnABoCZoWPMYnJeKInuQmdR2n6KTeLX7YiMIo/s320/Taiwan+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356130807726656306" border="0" /></a>So teaching the SPE students I have some of my favorites. I taught this groups the majority of the time. This was their last day at the school. Here are some of my favorite students. One is Eric (he is in the front left) he is so excited about learning English and he has a cute British accent because he went to a cram school where British teachers taught him. He gets so excited that it is hard to understand him because he is laughing so hard. One day as my class was getting ready to line up to go. I said to my students if you are wearing white you may line up. He proceeds to line up and one of the girls says Eric you no white you no white. He keeps laughing and says Yes Yes and then drops his pants. There Eric is in his little Asian whitey tighties while laughing saying teacher i have a white. I then say yes you do now pull up your pants.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuEkF7R43EX3NETPH4v1w_kVUiqxe8I3DQ3XE8kI9jiyAIeRIEDhz540lz7KHT9SEkozxcyiAlKm_nUz0aY53WiPjVwA7A5eRU4fIhYzjEQobztBMfvQz6z89MDFQS8lTUoE9zEmBD7o/s1600-h/Taiwan+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNuEkF7R43EX3NETPH4v1w_kVUiqxe8I3DQ3XE8kI9jiyAIeRIEDhz540lz7KHT9SEkozxcyiAlKm_nUz0aY53WiPjVwA7A5eRU4fIhYzjEQobztBMfvQz6z89MDFQS8lTUoE9zEmBD7o/s320/Taiwan+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356130804156171842" border="0" /></a>Then there is William. The photo above is of William and his big gulp sized coke slurpee. He has severe ADHD and is a lot of fun. I always think to myself If I were ever to have a child this is what it would turn out to be. A very hyperactive child who is very entertaining. He has a hard time staying in his chair and I have to repeatedly remind him to sit down. Did I mention that I also have a hard time sitting down as well. William is pretty fast on his feet. It is not uncommon for him to jump out of his chair hop on my back and start giving me a massage. I usually have to get after him and say William get back in your chair. I do have to admit he has definitely improved on his back massage. I also like to tease William. I will say to him William did you say Chinese? He says teacher I dont know Chinese. I always think to myself man that must suck for him. He is the most entertaining student I might just be bored with out him.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvurcaWLQvZG0nqzbDDGzDUxTsbOXDgju4PSOUtDCO1aCjVzqmK_gTEUzQJakcJLCGa3Ncmt3gVaHULDAgwuy6ToG5fuh4Zho2XTo3lCxWF4_898RvGVeqQvqFBvmSRENNO8Dh2xBD0Hk/s1600-h/Taiwan+011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvurcaWLQvZG0nqzbDDGzDUxTsbOXDgju4PSOUtDCO1aCjVzqmK_gTEUzQJakcJLCGa3Ncmt3gVaHULDAgwuy6ToG5fuh4Zho2XTo3lCxWF4_898RvGVeqQvqFBvmSRENNO8Dh2xBD0Hk/s320/Taiwan+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356130811631335090" border="0" /></a>Next is Jerry. Featured above and below. He is the most awkward little Asian I have seen. He has glasses and has a longer neck compared to his classmates. He is adorable and hilarious. He wants everyone to follow the rules especially William. It is not uncommon for Jerry to hit William in the stomach for jumping up and down and not folding his arms. William will yell teacher Jerry hit me. Most of the time William is pretty resilient and he just keeps on going. I always say Jerry don't hit anyone. He always replies with the ok Teacher Hanna with a big grin. I laugh at this every time. Mainly because things would really go out of control if it were not for Jerry. One day we were in the gym playing soccer and Jerry got hit in the face by one of the other students. His glasses got lodged down and he went to push them back up and the eye pads got stuck in both of his nostrils so when he turned to me to tell him what had happened. I tried the hardest not to laugh.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNpsBnpWnyEhSyXYRUwGqSAeHzH9CEanuwOvhQYlhYPIYZMZExrm5PnY9sbj7AMF1Ao5V40PZKW9BoThqjpgZpgO9vwE7otCm-CObZIew1RVF2a-5LQSZE-RiXmtogfWhPexhEVNZOYUg/s1600-h/Taiwan+034.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNpsBnpWnyEhSyXYRUwGqSAeHzH9CEanuwOvhQYlhYPIYZMZExrm5PnY9sbj7AMF1Ao5V40PZKW9BoThqjpgZpgO9vwE7otCm-CObZIew1RVF2a-5LQSZE-RiXmtogfWhPexhEVNZOYUg/s320/Taiwan+034.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356141273604359906" border="0" /></a>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-73630056084484111722009-07-05T12:12:00.012+08:002009-07-10T00:05:47.026+08:00Ershuei<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02ckmUfW0doH79-qZ3jiClNVWRT4HNeR-hTK6fUxLJdsfmH6rf8QMbx4IsmRijvrMwAOtOW3uHST7EaOnH0SWJlt2NdYxxrL9jMUHiRvFOxpobvwtnW3j6gFVTXWhZBal8nn_k1hyphenhyphenexA/s1600-h/Taiwan+042.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg02ckmUfW0doH79-qZ3jiClNVWRT4HNeR-hTK6fUxLJdsfmH6rf8QMbx4IsmRijvrMwAOtOW3uHST7EaOnH0SWJlt2NdYxxrL9jMUHiRvFOxpobvwtnW3j6gFVTXWhZBal8nn_k1hyphenhyphenexA/s320/Taiwan+042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356445189592741170" border="0" /></a>So I was called on Friday night by Manti(who I call Moroni) and invited to go biking. He said to invite some friends so I invited my new roomies Tabbi and Tanier. So the next morning we were ready by 6:45. One thing that Asians love to do is to wake up at the butt crack of dawn on a perfectly good Saturday to sleep in. So Manti picked us up and we caught the train. We met up with some more people. We rented some bikes Tabbi and I decided to go with the Tandem bike. It had a awesome basket on the front that said "So Funny".

While peddling one of the Asians in our group rode up to me and said very loudly "you so white" then quickly rode off. It took me off guard I laughed. This bike ride was not too long but the Taiwanese have to stop every few feet to take a picture. I wanted to say to them hey we have to pick up the pace or this whitey is going to be red. We finally made it to the monkey museum and the monkey's I guess migrated to the other side. Whatever. So we opted for the monkey movie which didn't seem family friendly I mean it was in Chinese but all I saw was mating monkeys. Oh and the man in front of me was wearing a bright flowery floral print. I was so disappointed because I was not able to capture this because I did not want to cause a scene with having the flash go off. I also held a huge beetle who really knows why. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8uvCswrVHmLL8voPAkQwzpoGP749OFjsgAtjwCzZj0JUP4UKcA-EcGSDXf4wgEUQGBMxwJqxQnqdnJZFEdm1Xc1lJb8rurEogI86mAhEsLyOjNwjOirliCwRFtrnH0gDBqSEA0aJ82U/s1600-h/Taiwan+071.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp8uvCswrVHmLL8voPAkQwzpoGP749OFjsgAtjwCzZj0JUP4UKcA-EcGSDXf4wgEUQGBMxwJqxQnqdnJZFEdm1Xc1lJb8rurEogI86mAhEsLyOjNwjOirliCwRFtrnH0gDBqSEA0aJ82U/s320/Taiwan+071.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356445186543281634" border="0" /></a>Anyways after the movie we headed back to the train station and I was so sunburned tired and dehydrated. We then went and ate some noodles and some soup. I had the oyster soup and there was some other things in it but I just was so hungry I didn't even ask. I bit into something very chewy and sweet. They then told me it was pig intestine. I thought to myself that explains why my gag reflex what trippin a little. It was a long day in the sun. Now instead of being white I turned to a lovely shade of red. We then took the train back home. Manti asked me do you know Clinton? I said "Oh yeah Bill" like we are on a first name basis. Oh because Steve thinks that you look like him. I thought well I have never been compared to looking like a man or Bill Clinton. So I told myself this is coming from an Asian. I mean the whites all look the same. You can never be offended by Asian comments.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAYSs2yQgZHiuEQS0SwLqaD2PwaO9FdGJFEuSFYPit5PdnfrPYJs_o0i8zoWpbwole671rk6pFVaRE-fZz1EqHkheMp5FHJaqxjb9yBhX8jwXDwOg4-Op5wxwyMZ7OSL57eA25H7A4Mvw/s1600-h/Taiwan+059.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

This was quite the experience. I would compare this to it is a small world. Me, Sarah and Megan went to experience the seven layers of hell. Apparently if you are a bad person you will be tortured and killed by others. Here we are entering the first layer of hell. As you can see I am embracing it while Sarah is a little skittish. I was excited because Megan was telling us what she has heard about this place. She served a mission here so she said that it was something that was suppose to be entertaining. As we entered the Temple that was turned into a ride things had sensors so all the sudden a Asian would turn to you and scary sounds would play. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguag9d-DMyN5ZNYWQ2aDawbnBKx3Piw1I9w8xMPi5_iAmAyMHSstvDXYMx7Sh6oZDvcTuT1WNNamXtg8EP3w6U9sQudbyFxzLlvvwiLWfvkCQDtAZA12_DqIomhYnSrDHG-3D_O8sqmCk/s1600-h/Taiwan+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguag9d-DMyN5ZNYWQ2aDawbnBKx3Piw1I9w8xMPi5_iAmAyMHSstvDXYMx7Sh6oZDvcTuT1WNNamXtg8EP3w6U9sQudbyFxzLlvvwiLWfvkCQDtAZA12_DqIomhYnSrDHG-3D_O8sqmCk/s320/Taiwan+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352322535476965218" border="0" /></a>At first it was quite comical.

I was so amazed that he had a shirt on and that this Asian man was helping him straddle the cycle. I found this really odd and stopped an stared. One thing I have learned from a friend is that there are times that it is perfectly okay to stare. Like when you wont see something like this again. The man gets on and proceeds to put on sun glasses on. I was laughing so hard.

We were in kitchen making some delicious eye ball soup (which consists of sprite and peeled grapes). Minnie says to me teacher can I see you cry? I said no you may not see me cry because if I start crying I don't know if I can stop. Minnie and Ella just kept saying okay okay come on do it. Apparently they get kicks out of seeing adults cry.

(Ella is on the left Minnie is on the right) Minnie said then will you show us sad face? Of coarse I caved in and did sad face with a little lip quiver. These girls are probably the most entertaining part of my day. Sometimes they are very serious and since it is just the two girls in one class. The girls are about 6 going on 30. The key to teaching at this school is to out entertain your students. We occasionally have some fighting going on between the girls. I always say to the girls now lets pull it together ladies. They immediately stop fighting fold their arms and line up. Now lets sing over the river!hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-61133301985654914192009-06-09T18:16:00.009+08:002009-06-15T12:50:45.611+08:00Glass Factory<div style="text-align: justify;">On Sunday Sarah, Leslie and I went on a home visit. We started out the home visit with playing the Wii. There is nothing like being surrounded by little Asian children and adults cheering you on while trying to do your best dance moves. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNiONFGIn11pZJ3FyBN8BUzCj_0gCTad2qaNcgPacC5GblPMBs7ECMFPysgqTDGBLVJh5zLY42hK1UHJr7LRYTm8lD-Yq85z8rjYHlNdwYymwhZWUjiMN-ZpJwmIKmZIRd7UI8UwXGs4/s1600-h/Taiwan+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNiONFGIn11pZJ3FyBN8BUzCj_0gCTad2qaNcgPacC5GblPMBs7ECMFPysgqTDGBLVJh5zLY42hK1UHJr7LRYTm8lD-Yq85z8rjYHlNdwYymwhZWUjiMN-ZpJwmIKmZIRd7UI8UwXGs4/s320/Taiwan+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346309957385706226" border="0" /></a>There is nothing more funny and humiliating at the same time. So we eventually headed for the glass factory. The mom was so hilarious she is quite a bargain shopper. You can also tell that she desperately needs to hang out with some females.

So we are at the glass museum which is a factory. It was pretty cool to see exactly what you could do with glass. At the end of the tour you get to walk on broken glass. Which most of the Asians didn't even flinch. Me on the other hand has very sensitive feet. At the end of the trail of glass we were rewarded with nothing other than a green bean ice pop. Yeah you heard me right. I have never really liked green beans I always tried to get out of eating them at dinner. I come to Taiwan and they are serving them as popsicles as a dessert. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjny1qEpGpF43Muc7SzfQJu7WKSlPdQ4zgPgzGw8fFIhlliObImIiksZxVTNzGcgoqPIVx6XrBUv8BXyRmBYt7nIv7vNXgmrE1iPNHdivoqBVUHGpU6R8IkAztFdNYvVHWPHafHY5rWbl8/s1600-h/Taiwan+015.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjny1qEpGpF43Muc7SzfQJu7WKSlPdQ4zgPgzGw8fFIhlliObImIiksZxVTNzGcgoqPIVx6XrBUv8BXyRmBYt7nIv7vNXgmrE1iPNHdivoqBVUHGpU6R8IkAztFdNYvVHWPHafHY5rWbl8/s320/Taiwan+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346309961008778418" border="0" /></a>Now that is sick. Of coarse like a good little sport. I said thank you and tried my best to finish the green little pop. I thought to myself maybe that is why Asians are so skinny they think that green beans are dessert. I guess they haven't heard of my friends Ben and Jerry. Anyways we then had pork steamed buns then some stinky tofu to end the evening. Oh and did I mention throughout the home visit I was getting squished by two Asian boys. They definitely are heavier than they look.<br /></div>hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-24551455442084215032009-06-07T10:14:00.007+08:002009-06-08T23:11:33.629+08:00The Children Have Gone Wild! Well I Guess More Like The TeacherWell at the school that I am working at every year they have what is called spectacular. This is where the children sing and do plays for their parents while speaking English the whole entire time. I have been working with my class trying to teach them some acting skills. I mean people have told me that I am a good actress and that I give some great facial expressions.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQog87P2MIPOASTzuaaOKD7PjWmFgs5p4mxXtBkPkFlqwCB8V50CVt5EXXl1FVz-8YtDOdfmbU8E_zxbq8x7TOdMDoCAf8I31vXMxEYprI7ulp7YV3XH92eRzDzeRZcG0cFrKp3Uc-E0U/s1600-h/Taiwan+005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQog87P2MIPOASTzuaaOKD7PjWmFgs5p4mxXtBkPkFlqwCB8V50CVt5EXXl1FVz-8YtDOdfmbU8E_zxbq8x7TOdMDoCAf8I31vXMxEYprI7ulp7YV3XH92eRzDzeRZcG0cFrKp3Uc-E0U/s320/Taiwan+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344973192672420146" border="0" /></a>The other day I got a comment from one of my students saying teacher you make interesting faces. We have been working hard in class and on our play so I decided to take my students to McDonald's. Just so everyone is aware. I strongly dislike going to McDonald's but if it motivates my students to do well I am willing to go. So we went and I think this is probably the happiest I have seen my students. My students are just as crazy as I am. One of my students just kept taking pictures of me and I finally had to say to stop and to eat their food. I just don't understand why children love McDonald's so much. Maybe I would enjoy Taiwanese McDonald's more if they had the all white meat chicken nuggets.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_LqgIqTwU-Suyu_DMDkTUq7-e2zyXmgnTK_RKcheUf6oVuROiFLHqD-esBG5VjmuxHLjFf4-8nz1hPss3V5MeuNhgQBGBa_LxqkhoOPR6A6n-4iAXO0Rem3jU8QNs6raCmJmCW07Ngek/s1600-h/Taiwan+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_LqgIqTwU-Suyu_DMDkTUq7-e2zyXmgnTK_RKcheUf6oVuROiFLHqD-esBG5VjmuxHLjFf4-8nz1hPss3V5MeuNhgQBGBa_LxqkhoOPR6A6n-4iAXO0Rem3jU8QNs6raCmJmCW07Ngek/s320/Taiwan+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344973191010567346" border="0" /></a>So every Friday we go to the park to practice our stuff. This park is usually packed with people. While we walk to the park which is about three blocks away from the school. The kids just complain about how far it is. When we are walking to the park I usually get a lot of Hello's from people. One boy told me teacher do you know him. I said no. Well teacher you should not talk to strangers. Practicing performing in a park is just a great idea to get the children used to performing in front of a crowd.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj26qqodJHMoEM6O36s97DTKydEjZT0ElN62kRi5g_o8-kdHuQyt-3msFG2zIw2sJCH57RA31Zfz3s_I9WnDSqTn7XCwzIoVtjCZ6itimyXVJHyY_bQzUx1qcQhaD2cAxD_qKPI6Zzyp_4/s1600-h/Taiwan+005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj26qqodJHMoEM6O36s97DTKydEjZT0ElN62kRi5g_o8-kdHuQyt-3msFG2zIw2sJCH57RA31Zfz3s_I9WnDSqTn7XCwzIoVtjCZ6itimyXVJHyY_bQzUx1qcQhaD2cAxD_qKPI6Zzyp_4/s320/Taiwan+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344973199920533282" border="0" /></a>Also I am getting them used to being embarrassed. I was talking to my students and a little Taiwanese child came running towards us and he made eye contact with me and made an abrupt stop. The funny thing was is that my students said teacher do not move you could scare the child. I said should I say BOO? Teacher do not scare. Practicing at the park in front of large crowds is always a good idea. Mainly it is because I am preparing these children for real life embarrassment. Like remember we had to practice that dumb play in English in front of everyone.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6E9JA1bfyNdzTG-LlIQbCXPS2TN6hqcqMKHSiVbxrKQo3-X7Op1rPjfQ1WWZdXuEEEIj0YMSpXcG_TX1QwHnGwvxlnypqOicmZVTE8Wzx684VYa33A0k9_p3PofdcuTcZQyPsABYTQ9g/s1600-h/Taiwan+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6E9JA1bfyNdzTG-LlIQbCXPS2TN6hqcqMKHSiVbxrKQo3-X7Op1rPjfQ1WWZdXuEEEIj0YMSpXcG_TX1QwHnGwvxlnypqOicmZVTE8Wzx684VYa33A0k9_p3PofdcuTcZQyPsABYTQ9g/s320/Taiwan+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344973196540536770" border="0" /></a>While I was teaching my students how to be dramatic. They said teacher people are staring at us. Why are they staring at us? I said it well it is because I am white. I don't know if you noticed. I kind of stick out (as you can see in the photos of me and my students). I then proceeded to ask should I sing and dance for everyone? I quickly turn around and start doing a little clogging like back in my American clogger days. Some of my students said teacher no! It was quite funny I love embarrassing my students mainly due to the fact of who do I have to impress.hannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16991919998158487947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714530500350715230.post-47828774748029661622009-06-01T13:50:00.017+08:002009-06-08T22:39:49.332+08:00HolidayThis week was the Dragon boat festival. Which means holiday. So pretty much I spent a lot of money on unnecessary things. I went to Tainan and did some sight seeing and we tried to make it back to Lukang for the Dragon Boat Festival. I should probably not be allowed to leave my apartment because when we were headed back to Lukang I asked for a ticket to Changhua. Which I miss pronounced and we ended up going farther south when we wanted to go north. I strongly dislike trying to speak Chinese. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHosJ_U4o3lj67BDlRkR2GmIumLhjo91uFaCrURZSbWdKEAsAXXFsBGp84Y3PM3F8bThk8kK8N8sAF6-n_tMGD-PsMjlBth99QRDXXCTLu69v1CL1wgzakqrR4GT3ZwoEqdSrrLIxQLk/s1600-h/Taiwan+020.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHosJ_U4o3lj67BDlRkR2GmIumLhjo91uFaCrURZSbWdKEAsAXXFsBGp84Y3PM3F8bThk8kK8N8sAF6-n_tMGD-PsMjlBth99QRDXXCTLu69v1CL1wgzakqrR4GT3ZwoEqdSrrLIxQLk/s320/Taiwan+020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344926555022770210" border="0" /></a>Mainly because it is very difficult and my mouth doesn't move that way. While trying to get to Lukang we were waiting in line to catch the bus and this little girl came up to us. This is the second time I have seen this little girl. She comes up to me and just is talking a mile a minute in Chinese of coarse like I am fluent in it. The funny thing is I acted like I knew how to speak Chinese and I was actually attempting the language with her. So I am wearing a silk dress so of coarse this little girl is all over me. The funny thing is before moving to Taiwan this might have alarmed me but now it doesn't even phase me. The girl just keeps talking to me. I totally act like I know exactly what she is talking about. She then gets into the squat position and look at me legs then looks under my dress. By the way there are about 30 Asians watching and I hear a bunch of girls giggling. I also did the shoulder shrug like well I am sure it is not like she hasn't seen it before. I also said Whoa girl there are not snacks under there. She keeps talking and then says bye bye. I got a lot of laughs from the people in line. We then finally made it to Lukang. We missed the boat races but everyone said that I did not miss much. Then on Saturday me Sarah and Leslie headed back down to Tainan to do some more sight seeing and do go dancing. Tainan is a way cute city. It has the oldest temple in Taiwan and it is a college town so there are a lot of college students and foreigners. Oh and awesome food. Who doesn't like shrimp wrapped bacon!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcshCd9_GpCNBVeYubqfbhE9KLKqeU4GfAF7Ew_em9sflmsi237aP0nD0dsDP4c1HvqIY1KkSLqipFOY-r_d9hkCw6JNc1HazYuW8ngcB-gwL7GDmlXPt_cwIwgHHuSNXO9321G7ipDNI/s1600-h/Taiwan+027.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
