http://blondeintaiwan.blogspot.com/2009/07/had-to-run-from-you.html
Friday, July 24, 2009. Had to run from you. I've got nothin today, so i'm leaving you with the most awesome wedding-aisle walk in the woooorld. Ryan is reciting his spelling words to me, and as he's handing me the list, i rip it in half by accident. the whole class stops what they're doing and looks at me as ryan and i are looking at each other with our mouths open and hands on our face, home alone style, screaming.]. Megan pretends to cry]. Paul: megan, no cry! TYBL: sorry, i can't. Megan: i can make the.

blonde in taiwan: deep in the heart of texas
http://blondeintaiwan.blogspot.com/2009/08/deep-in-heart-of-texas.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. Deep in the heart of texas. Matt picked me up at the airport wearing a t-shirt from high school, gray thai fisherman pants and loafers. i was so ill by the time i got to austin i could barely talk without coughing. i already had a cough in taiwan but it just got worse and worse breathing that dry air in the planes. anyway i'd prefer not to think about all of that traveling. I haven't opened the regular mail yet but i know my non-expired debit cards are in there somewhere, too.

Thursday, August 13, 2009. Goodbye mr. wang! Thank you for the cake, tea and company. "do you love me? Goodbye thursday yellow book class! Crazy pronunciation, following emily's rules, exchanging funny faces when no one was looking, voices that no one could hear, slow writers who became the fastest in the class, judy 1 and judy 2, unhappy moms. Left to right: outspoken mandy, strong wendy, inaudible elaine, funny face angela, sweet angel, clueless kelly, coming out of her shell judy, focused bella. Thank...

http://blondeintaiwan.blogspot.com/2008/12/its-colder-day-by-day.html
Saturday, December 6, 2008. It's colder day by day. I think of myself as a summer girl, but i think winter is my true favorite. i love bundling up, piling under blankets, and drinking all kinds of warm beverages. Speaking of beverages, i successfully ordered a drink in chinese today without any confusion! Wo xiang yao yi bei re de limon lu cha,' i would like a cup of hot lemon green tea. Oooh no the christmas shoes song. Class was fun tonight. my game of the week is really really fun. and the eas...I sti...

Thursday, August 20, 2009. Bras on the sidewalk in front of carrefour). Now i can ask for help and talk to the people around me. sometimes i can figure out a sign even if it isn't in english. i've swum illegally in taroko gorge, gotten $3 massages in the philippines and learned to dive in thailand. i've eaten squid balls, pig intestine soup, sheets of seaweed and fried durian. Entrance of carrefour. which isn't usually filled with shopping carts). Time to get on the plane! All i brought in my carryon is ...

blonde in taiwan: some people i want you to meet
http://blondeintaiwan.blogspot.com/2009/08/some-people-i-want-you-to-meet.html
Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Some people i want you to meet. These are the people that i look forward to seeing every week. funny they're almost all food related. i guess when you don't cook, the people who make your meals become very important to you. Lady who always sees it's me and then just nods and makes my food because she knows how i like it. The people who make my stamps. Tea shop people where i pick up green tea almost every day. You've seen these three before. look how cute bobo's haircut is!

blonde in taiwan: goodbye taiwan
http://blondeintaiwan.blogspot.com/2009/08/goodbye-taiwan.html
Thursday, August 20, 2009. It's my last night in taiwan, in this bed, in the dorm, listening to clinking poker chips through my paperthin door (in a good way). most everyone hung out in the common room for a while and i got to see everyone who doesn't live at the dorm which was really nice. i can't imagine not seeing all of these teachers for several hours a day anymore! Working/living/socializing with the same 30 people really brings you together in a unique way. August 20, 2009 at 1:18 AM. August 20, 2...

blonde in taiwan: with dignity and grace
http://blondeintaiwan.blogspot.com/2009/04/with-dignity-and-grace.html
Sunday, April 5, 2009. With dignity and grace. I hate carrefour on sundays but oh how i love these little cakes that they sell by the door. They're filled with some kind of pudding stuff. dena said she thinks it's lemon but i think it's vanilla custard? Whatever it is, it's delicious. although sometimes if the lady has just made them, it's like molten lava. I did learn how to carmelize onions. The smoothie looks delicious but I REALLY have spa envy! I need to treat myself to one in Austin. April 7, 2009 ...
