Hello hello, greetings from Taichung, Taiwan!!

All is well here, I came to Taiwan on the 1st of July and spent the first week in Taipei doing training. Training for what you say?? well...I actually decided to become an English teacher for a year...

I'm now in Taichung in my new apartment (hehe) and I've started teaching. Crazy how things turn out sometimes. a month ago I never would've thought that this is what I would be doing to jump start my career.

Anyway, things are going great so far. Taiwan is an interesting place. It's kind of like the best of two worlds - sometimes I feel like I'm in some super developed country (the buses are insane! imagine huge leather recliners with massage capacity, built in speakers in the head rest, own monitor to watch movies or to play video games??) Other times though it feels very much like a developing country.

alright, that's all for now. Luckily the apartment came equipped with internet access so I'll be updating this thing more often.

cheers!

oh and I added some pics of Taiwan - it's on the link section incase you want to have a look =)
