More radio and Crazy School
Well, I am getting the radio\pod cast thing down. It's really great -like a whole new world. Right now it's six AM here in Taiwan and I'm listening to Kauai Community Radio. Fantastic. Yesterday was Reggae from somewhere...Of course KPFA, A Prairie Home Companion, Sports Center, Democracy Now, Air America Radio, Car Talk and .... It's really kind of endless. The Internet is truly amazing.
Back at work now that Tomb Sweeping Holiday is over. I confess, I didn't sweep any tombs this year. Perhaps next. At my crazy school, the only other foreign teacher quit - again. She left her id badge with a note saying, "bye bye!" So I am alone there and the only native English speaker. Donna was one of my English-speaking natives here. I wonder what impact that will have on me. Perhaps it's really time to learn Mandarin Chinese. It's so hard though.
Well time for work.

You better keep your blog up! I may not look everyday but I do have a sense of connection with you by going to it.Knowing you are ok and what life is like in Tawaiin. I do enjoy it. The butterflies was interesting. Close the hwy? I know when I was at my on gradwohl, I would sit outside and watch the monarchs, they go in the same line, one after another, I hope to see them at my new home.
Love, Judy
