Moon Festival BBQ

My friend Kyle invited a bunch of friends over to his new house in Pintung County (just south of Kaohsiung) for a Moon Festival BBQ. Moon Festival, AKA: Mid-Autumn Festival, is a big event here in Taiwan and most families get together for a big BBQ.

My 25th birthday

Ya, I know it's been a loooong time since I posted anything. That's mostly because my camera broke so I couldn't take any pictures and what's a blog without pictures. As of yesterday, I now have a working camera once again, so I hope to post more pictures soon. Until then, here's some pictures that were taken with my friends' cameras.

This is my friend, David You. He stopped by to visit me on his way back to Korea from Canada.

This is my surprise birthday cake that David bought me. We were just finishing up the Bible study and then he brought this out. Wow, what a fun surprise!
Here's a shot of the girls (plus David -- ya, I forced him to come to my "women's Bible study" -- poor guy, lol)...
Another good shot...
At Dream Mall on August 23rd morning... this is supposedly the biggest mall in Asia.

David's visit

David "fit right in" in Taiwan. Here he is riding my scooter. It was funny, because everywhere we went people tried to talk to him in Chinese but of course he couldn't understand them.
