Just another WordPress.com site. November 21, 2010. Did I mention that I’m getting kind of settled? For example, Saturday I cleaned the bathroom, cooked peas and okra, took my dry laundry in off the balcony and folded it, Skyped friends and family, answered my conversation partner’s email about insurance, picked up my room, and listened to a lot of Prince. Then as a special Saturday night adventure, I took out the recycling. Playing from a distant garbage truck. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. UF Study Abroa...

Chinese Learning Tools | Sara in Taipei
https://saraintaipei.wordpress.com/chinese-learning-tools

An online pinyin writing tool. That doesn’t always work perfectly. An online Chinese-English dictionary. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Just another WordPress.com site. December 6, 2010.
