Hey Guys,

We took the kids out to the zoo today. It was pretty cool. The day started out badly because a kid was sick on the bus. Fortunately, we were close to the school so we just dumped him there and took off again. The Taipei Zoo is pretty nice with lots of animals crowded into a small area, so the kids don't have to walk too much. There were flamingos, giraffes, elephants, horses, zebras, antelops, emus, ostriches, beavers, otters, koalas, monkeys, kangaroos and many more that we did not see. The kids loved the otter because it was swimming and it came over to the window where they were standing. They loved the monkeys because they of them were in an aerial acrobatic competition. They were swinging madly in loops around their play area. Finally, they also loved the koalas because they looked so cute while they were hugging trees.

 

Kids could describe all these animals and could spell certain of them. I feel that I did a pretty good job on this unit! Yeah for me!

 

 

Today, I felt really exhausted. I had a nightmare last night. I can't remember what it was about, but there were a lot of girls. I said nightmare... I don't describe my fantacies online! Anyhow, when I got on the bus to go to the gym, I fell asleep. I woke up just in time for the MRT stop. Then I slept on the MRT. This time, I did not wake up until I was in Taipei Main Station, hence 9 stops past the gym! Jumped on the next subway North. Got on the next bus and managed to be 15 minutes late for my gym session. The session was productive nonetheless, but my coach laughed at me a bit. She always says that I should eat more and sleep more. I do eat more now and my body is responding very well. I like the bumps that are growing on me. Soon, I'll post my new physique. After today's mishap, I guess she is right about sleeping too, but I don't have the time for that now. After Saturday's Xmas show, Speech competition and a friend's bday, then I'll have time to sleep.

 

I booked my tickets for Japan. I'll go there for Chinese New Year from Feb 6 to 10!

 

Cheers,

Hey guys,

You may recall that I will host the Christmas party on December 22 for kindy.

They asked me to dress up as a Taiwanese boy... so here is my new look.

Given the reactions from both teachers and students, it is successful!

What do you think?

Please feel free to tell me!

Hey Guys,

 

Yesterday marked my 2nd anniversary of landing in Taipei.

I didn't do anything special because I have so much work right now.

I did share this info with my kids. The kindy ones found it funny, the older ones

clapped in delight for some reason.

How many more years will I be here?

I don't have plans to return home anytime soon.

Cheers,

LeTouriste
