Teri Here!
As some of you may know, recently I made the somewhat abrupt decision to finally buy a plane ticket to Taiwan! Will a little over three weeks, I am managing to pack up my life and prepare for an adventure of a lifetime! I will be teaching English in either Kaohsiung or Tainan! These cities are located in the southern part of Taiwan
I would like to share a few things I am looking forward to on this excursion!
- To know what it actually feels like to be a minority
- Fresh, fresh food all the time!
- Giggling the first time someone tries to pronounce my last name
- Learning a new language!
- Teaching children the joys of sidewalk chalk
- Battling pickle withdrawals. I have done this before. If I can accomplish this, then I can accomplish anything!
- After hanging out with someone for 6 months +, having him/her build up enough courage to ask me if I knew that one of my eyes was larger than the other.
- Finally being able to look the majority of the population in the eye
- Teaching children the proper technique of a Judo chop!
- Allowing my hair to run wild in 80% humidity. Things could get crazy
- Learning, learning, learning!
- Experiencing, experiencing, experiencing!
- Growing, growing, and growing!
- And… having you all come visit me!
I know I am going to struggle with being in close proximity to people all the time, but as long as I remember to breathe I will manage for short periods of time! You never know when I return home I may have been transformed into a snuggle bunny, but let’s be realistic probably not.
Alas, after pondering many things over the past couple weeks, my biggest regret is I am unable to take you all with me. But as my good friend Arnold says, “I’ll be back!” With all this being said, I am off! I wish you all the best! I have Skype and know a few airlines that have flights to Taiwan. Come on over!
Take care,
Teri The Traveler
