I Am Going to Like it Here....

They're keeping me busy, and I'm still a little jet lagged.  I woke up yesterday at 3:30 AM, so I was a little tired yesterday to blog.  But last night I got 8 hours, so I'm feeling better.  Yesterday was good, Chinese class with Andrew, and then a session on teaching ESL.  We spent the afternoon at the National Palace Museum, amazing artwork.  One of the most impressive pieces was an ivory basket, some parts were carved to look like lace, so thin they are transparent.

And the dragon ball, 17 nested, rotating spheres, the whole thing is carved from one piece of ivory.

And yes, I stole the pictures from Google, you're not allowed to take pictures inside.

This morning was another Chinese lesson, then more education classes all day.  I'm on lunch right now.  I love the fact that lunch is 90 minutes.  They want you to eat for 30 minutes, and then everyone is expected to take a nap before afternoon classes.  I'm on my second cup of tea for the day, I'm not tired.  So I'm watching Pili, a traditional Taiwanese marionette show on TV.  I have no idea what's going, but it's interesting to watch.  I have to go back soon for another afternoon of class, then after dinner, a visit to the night market.
