I am in Taiwan now!!! 现在我在台湾
Link on the last sentence for video I made if you don't feel like reading this.
Okay so I am not good at this blogging thing, but I will try to see if I can post pictures and stories sooner. I have been in Taiwan for one month now and it has been a blast. I really enjoy it here. It is 100% different than America(if you couldn't guess for yourself). I have found an apartment in Kaohsiung and I love it and its location. It's right next to a bus stop and MRT(Metro Rail Train(Subway)) all within a 2 minute walk. Also, in a two minute walk in the other direction is Love River. I have gotten to see many temples with are just breath taking knowing how long ago they were built. Currently I am in Taipei(Capital) to do my training. I have 10 days of intense training. Most days I will start at 8:15am and end at 6:30pm. They do have a lot to teach because 90% of people here don't have education for teaching or have any teaching experience. I'm not saying I'm smarter by any means, but according to the itinerary the first 5-6 days will be covering what I spent 4 semesters going over, but it will be a great review and most likely help me. Also, I two terms I here quite frequently is 老外(lao way) or 外国人(way gwoah run) which both mean foreigners. I have had people approach to try and talk to me. A lot of the time I will walk around at night and hear somebody yell out "Good Morning" because it's the very little English they know. Anyways, this has been a beyond amazing experience. Soon I will upload a picture/video of my apartment and some video of the traffic here. Also, there is a thing called a high speed rail here. It take less than 2 hours to go from the north side of the island to the south side. It is amazingly fast! I have put together a video of the places I have gone since being here. Just Click Here and the video will pop up for you. Thanks for reading.
