蓮葉何田田: November 2008
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Thursday, November 27, 2008. And being seeded higher than we could handle, we managed to pull off the Pool B championship. Team Philippine narrowly won the tournament in one of the most intense games I've ever watched. and the crowd went crazy. PS photo credits go to Ms. Manila. Monday, November 17, 2008. But I couldn't resist. This was the beach in Nan-ao this weekend. Thursday, November 13, 2008. These are a few of my favorite things. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

蓮葉何田田: 選手注意! 預備! 殺!
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2009/06/blog-post.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Sunday, June 14, 2009. 選手注意! 預備! 殺! The races were on May 27 and 28. Earlier Mary and I had gone to the meeting to draw our place in the bracket, and our first race was against Yilan University's chemical engineering students. Perhaps unexpectedly, we defeated them in both shallow and deep lanes. Beth was an excellent grabber. Next we raced against a team of doctors, but couldn't keep up with their lightning speed:.

蓮葉何田田: Chance encounters
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2009/03/chance-encounters.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Sunday, March 29, 2009. Of the past few months. As a sidenote, this. Is what I'll be doing next year. At the end of February I visited the program to interview, and had a really good time. On my last day we went canoeing on Lake Washington (here you can see some of my house-and-boat-mates, I was paddling in the front of the first boat). It was beautiful; can't wait to go back!

蓮葉何田田: December 2008
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Sunday, December 7, 2008. Let's welcome the band. I have to admit, I had my doubts when they told us we would be working at a co-school for two months out of the year, in November and March. How much could happen in such a short, fractured time? They even made me give a speech and play the erhu for them, and presented me with this card that the whole class had signed. In just a short month, these students truly touched me. I'm going to miss them. Lets welcome the band.

A year teaching English in Taiwan. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Paper, Scissors, Stone! The government has just announced that we have Monday off due to super typhoon Jangmi. Now we return to our regularly scheduled post.]. So what do I do when my fellow ETAs are off at Chinese class? Thursday, September 25, 2008. I'm not sure whether to be offended or just amused.

蓮葉何田田: In pictures
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2009/04/in-pictures.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Saturday, April 25, 2009. One of my favorite ways to waste time on the interweb is the BBC's Day in pictures. We have less than two months left in Taiwan, and it's going to be a whirlwind with little time to blog. So, I've decided to compile my own album of daily (or almost daily) pictures that reflect everyday life here, with brief commentary. Check it out! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

蓮葉何田田: March 2009
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. It's peanut butter jelly time! Today was my last day at my co-school, Li Xing (力行) Elementary. At the morning assembly, the principal presented me a certificate of thanks, and Grace told each class to come up with something to say to me. There was an abundance of thank yous and goodbyes. Afterwards I did a victory lap around the track with class 6A, with handshakes and hugs all around. Class 1A says, "I love you! Sunday, March 29, 2009. This is ...

蓮葉何田田: January 2009
http://tianlo.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A year teaching English in Taiwan. Thursday, January 8, 2009. You can have good memory. This afternoon I sent off 18 colorful letters from my 4th graders to America. Their pen pals are 3rd graders in Rochester MN - a class that Mikaela has been volunteering with. She graciously agreed to help me with the project, and their homeroom teacher sent me a packet of letters filled with introductions and questions about life in Taiwan (do you have electricity? Are there sharks where you live? The views and infor...
