Two more days...

I'm going to Taiwan in two days and I'm getting really excited about it. When I close my eyes I can picture the city sights and the people and everything, and it makes me really miss it. I forgot how much I missed it because I've been back for so long (2 years). I leave on Sunday, February 18th and arrive in Taipei on February 20th. I'll be living with my Taiwanese friend, Janice, and teaching English to children at a "bushiban" (English cram school). My goal is also to study Chinese at a Chinese language centre, so please pray for me that I will stay motivated. Chinese (Mandarin) is so difficult! My grandma doesn't agree. She said to me the other day, "Chinese must be so easy because even little wee children can speak it effortlessly."

Children at a "bushiban" are very lucky because they can learn English from a good teacher, Elaine. he he..
I really hope you to be able to speak Mandarin very well.
Good luck!!
God! bless you.
