Monday, July 19, 2010. Dear green island: you are beautiful. As our last vacation together in Taiwan, Amy, Brandon, Susan, Megan, and I headed to the south eastern region of Taiwan. Taitung was actually a relatively dull city with only a few spare beaches and some lousy street shops. We seemed to make the time pass just fine though. Next stop: Green Island. It's nice to feel wanted or at least know Susan's wanted. We snorkeled for a few hours one morning but have no pictures to prove it. We normally do t...

Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Being a resident in the middle of Taiwan (Taichung, Feng Yuan), I was told I must visit the southern regions of Taiwan to experience a change of pace and to see some beautiful sites, and that I did! Amy and I departed on a rainy Saturday morning at 6:30AM to head to Kaohsiung. We planned to meet up with a couchsurfer who would be hosting us for one night in her city. We were excited when Christina (our host) and her friend wanted to tour around the city with us. We had a rainy f...

can't sit still: the finale

Sunday, July 18, 2010. I'll miss you Berhan! You were absolutely wonderful. Thank you for the memories. Basic Reading class: You seemed all too eager to see me go. I'm only hoping you didn't truly mean it and are now praying to have me back. Anyway, I enjoyed teaching you all and miss you! Oh, Enrichment: You could be fun but a little much when all you wanted to do was have/make fun. I don't blame any of you though; you shouldn't be forced to be in English class till 7PM. Carol just kills me. Experiencin...

can't sit still: Have you been to Africa?
http://whittersmith.blogspot.com/2012/01/have-you-been-to-africa.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. Have you been to Africa? Okay, so I've been home in Utah for four months, surprise! But this last summer I spent my time tucked away in Eastern Africa leading a team of 30 volunteers in development/humanitarian projects with my kick butt co-director, Suzanne Whitehead. We performed a numerous of projects and good-deeds but what the Ugandans taught us will stay with us for eternity. Watch this movie clip I made in summarization of our projects and experiences.

Thursday, February 18, 2010. An Epic Holiday with the Kuo Family. The most important days of the year: Chinese New Year Eve and Day. I was able to spend them with my good friend Tricia Kuo's family. The Kuos are a very modern Taiwanese family; They don't really believe in many of the auspicious things that most other families believe in. But meeting the entire crew and spending the biggest holiday of the year was still quite a treat! The biggest event: The New Year's Eve Dinner. Happy Chinese New Year!

Saturday, May 19, 2012. Blogging seems to have become a thing of my past, mostly because I don't have the patience nor the memory to keep the blog updated, but if anyone still looks at this, here are the most recent crazy things I am doing. This week I started my second Bachelors in Nursing at the University of Utah. The program is well equipped for those that have attention spans like my own. I will graduate with my RN degree in August 2013, after an intense accelerated 15 months of training. Experienci...

Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Maybe I am my mother's daughter. My mother is notoriously known for her baking. She can improvise, mimic and create all sorts of delicious baked goods. Well after the first cake. I made in Taiwan, I somehow convinced my current roommates that I am skilled in the culinary art just like my mama smith and they have all requested I make them homemade cakes for their birthdays. Susan's Carrot Cake: 1st Place. 1 tsp baking soda. 1 tsp baking powder. 3 cups finely shredded carrots.

Sunday, July 12, 2009. I'm in Fiji kids! I have been on the island Viti Levu, Fiji in the South Pacific for almost two weeks now. I live on the main island where the capital Suva is, but my team is doing work in a small town on the other side of the island. The town is called Tavua District. This town is made up of Indo-Fijian people and Fijians. A bit of the Fijian culture still resembles Great Britain because they were under their control until 1970. Queen Elizabeth is represented on the dollar bil...
