PAST TWO WEEKS

October 5, 2008 Spent the day at the beach which is hard to believe since at home I would probably have layers of clothes on right now. The past two weeks have been very busy. The week of September 22 I was with the Business Weekly journalist and photographer for part of a day. I was also in a meeting for the English Village which I designing the shops and lesson for the village. There were 24 people who spoke limited English or none and I was to answer their questions which was difficult because of the language problem. Last weekend was typhoon Jangma which I have posted pictures of the typhoon at the beach. Monday there was no school for students but the teachers had to be here. Thursday and Friday was trying to decide on my new wheels which is a brand new bike which is also included in pictures. I even road the bike home from Hengchun which is a little over 5 miles from Kenting. I stop at a 7/Eleven for a break and this family from Pingtung City came over to talk me because I was from USA. The next thing I knew there were 20 people around me asking all types of questions. WOW! I felt like a celebrity. Yesterday I went to the National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium, and then when I got back to Kenting I went to the Kenting Youth Activity Center which is right behind my dorm and I only get to see the parking lot so I want to see the rest of the Center. It is a traditional Fukiense style and traditional Chinese residence. From there I went on a walk around Frog Rock. The pictures are of Jangma, my new wheels, the Aquarium, the Youth Center and the walk around Frog Rock.
