It's almost over...

I don't think I have time to blog anymore. With only a few more weeks left of school and a ten day trip around Taiwan followed by a ten day trip to Thailand, we've got a lot to do to get ready before going home. We're busy planning a week of Olympic events for the kids during the last week of school, filling out progress reports, and practicing songs for the kids to perform for parents at graduation.

Anyway, I don't know if I'll be blogging very much after this but here's a random collection of what I've been up to over the past few weeks. Sometimes people walk around barefoot here. Sometimes we see construction guys working in their bare feet. I was trying to get this barefoot construction guy's picture without him knowing.... oops- he caught me...




We love going to the morning market. There are vendors on the street with tubs of fish and eels swimming around and all kinds of weird meats hanging out in the open for sale. I love how there's a lady hacking up a fish and right next to her are booths selling jewelry and clothes.



We went to see some wild monkeys at a monkey preserve...


Then two weeks ago, we went to a rock concert to see a Taiwanese band called Mayday.
Before the concert, Jessica and I went to a hair salon because for about $7 you can get an amazing 20 minute shoulder and head massage and your hair shampooed and styled. I'm addicted...
Here we are sporting our Taiwanese hair styles before the concert.


Green guy...



Here's the whole gang in the lounge, watching a movie...You can see the popcorn Destiny dumped on the floor... everybody was ticked but she made brownies to make up for it.

We're actually watching National Treasure II right now as I'm writing...







So anyway, I may or may not be blogging for awhile... you can check out the other teacher's (my peeps) blogs but they probably don't have time to blog either...

Hi, Sara! I will miss viewing your blog, seeing all your adventures and escapades and catching an occasional view of Tammy. Hopefully, when you get home you will have a chance to document and post your student's graduation, winding up the school year and your Taiwan and Thailand travels. Please come see us in Logan and keep in touch. We will never forget you or our time together in Taiwan. Love, Madre Wheels
