Met 4 of my 5 classes this week. The kids seem great and I am looking forward to working with them. One of the funniest parts of the week was when I tried to teach my students the word quadrilateral. Because the Rs, Ls and Ds are very breathy in Chinese, it sounded like each of my students was saying, "Qua-ri-ra-ruh-rur". Below is a photo of me on the first day.
The first day of school assembly started with a long winded speech by the principal where she made the students raise the left hands into the air and promise to say no to drugs and not not sexually harass anyone.
Friday night- karaoke with a new friend of mine and his friends in the Taiwanese Navy.
Saturday- took the train to Tainan and explored the old city and the streets of the old town. Then went to a Taiwanese BBQ at a friend of a friend's house. Much better than an American BBQ. I ate chicken hearts, pig's blood, shrimp, slied beef, pork, bacon, tofu and lots of vegetables. Click on photo below to see pictures from my trip to Tainan.
