Today started out ok, I had to have help getting breakfast because I had no idea what I was doing.  I took a short walk with one of the "veteran" teachers and we stopped at 7-Eleven and a grocery store.  Lunch was in the classroom, and I finally mastered chop sticks.  The weather is very warm, almost 100 degrees and humid.  

     Orientation was from 1-5:30, we had speakers on teaching ESL and adjusting to life in Taiwan.  Dinner was pizza, very good!  We celebrated Summer birthdays and our arrival in Taiwan:

Birthday girls, Peggy and Soleil

After dinner a few of us walked through a night market, I just wanted to see what it was like.  Wednesday night the counselors have scheduled a night market visit, I definitely want to go back.  Next time I won't be stuffed with pizza and jet-lagged, lol.

The view, the building to the right is Taipei 101, for a while it was the tallest building in the world.
