I never thought that I would be back living in Taiwan. It happened so unexpectedly that I'm STILL getting used to the fact that I am here. Sunday, September the 21st will be a month since I've been back. Time is flying by already and we are just getting started with classes. So far, I have completed one English Corner Video, 2 phonics classes for 1st graders, 2 visiting school class in the gym, 3 clinic classes, parent day, English Club, lesson plans, and teaching aides.Talk about being busy!! During the week, I normally go home and rest. Okay. Let me be honest. EVERYDAY I go home to cool off! It is so hot and humid!!! I remember this from my previous visit, but I can never get used to it. It looks like I'm walking around with a wet sponge above my head and someone is constantly squeezing the water out of it. I bet I look really crazy to some of these people. Oh well! There is nothing that I can do about it.
Not much has changed at Binjiang Elementary School other than the principal and some teachers. Taipei City now has 12 English Villages! I can not believe that! When I left in 2011, there were only 2 and they were building the 3rd. The government has been busy! I think the concept of an English Village is a good one. We need a place like this in the U.S. for foreign language teachers and their students.
I thought I posted this but I forgot to hit publish. Lol!
