I found out today at school that the PE teacher's name is Mr. Hamburger. He wears athletic pants, a sweatband on his head, blows a whistle, and I believe he has a stopwatch as well. He's a pretty intense guy, but that's what you need when you're trying to wrangle up a bunch of four year old kids on the playground. In school we also discussed chicken pox in one of my classes, and my kids kindly pointed out that I had some red spots on my face and asked me if I had chicken pox. It was not my most flattering moment, but it made me realize that I don't think they have chicken pox over here. None of my students knew what I was talking about when I described the chicken pox symptoms. Maybe they get them when they're adults or something...
I am going on a hike tomorrow morning at 6:45 with my doorman and needless to say, I'm quite excited. It will be a very Taiwanese experience. He said it was a half hour hike each way but the word "sixty" could have been lost in translation. Heck, for all I know we could be hiking 60 km tomorrow. I'll be sure to post about that!
It's been getting warmer here, but it's been beautiful. The best is when I get off school at night and there's a light breeze in the air and the temperature is probably around 65 degrees. One other thing...I still have not seen the ocean and I'm only about 4 miles as the crow flies from it. It's a mission of mine to make it there sometime in the next week. I'll be sure to post about that as well. Other than that, no other real exciting news for now. I may be going to Tainan in a week or two so that's a fairly big happening coming up. Zaijian for now!
