Here's the deal. I realized that in order to comment you need a gmail account and while gmail is awesome and totally they way to go, some of you don't have one and don't want one, so therefore you are unable to comment. I dislike that so I'm offering another option.
I will now be hosting Q&A Fridays. It is a chance for you all to email me your questions and I will do my best to answer them. If you want to know more about a topic I touched on, want me to figure out something completely new for you, or just have a question about something here, send it my way and I will try to answer. Similarly if you are wanting a picture of something specific that I've been neglecting to show you, that is also something to submit for Q&A Friday.
You all have had such great questions whenever I have gotten to talk to you; things that I don't necessarily think about but definitely want to explore more. Much credit to Linda Schmeckpeper for asking me about plant life here (the topic of a future post that is currently being written). It was her question that ultimately sparked life to Q&A Fridays so bring on your inquiries and I will hash out the answers!
Q&A Friday posts will happen as there is a demand for them. If I don't get any questions in a week then there will be no post.
Probably the best way to submit your questions for right now is to bessoutofbounds@gmail.com or bessfarley@gmail.com. They end up in the same place and I will collect them as we go. No question is too big or too small. Do not hesitate. It is fun having a mission to learn something new here.
No blog post is complete without a photo and since I haven't posted many of me here is one. I am holding a Taiwanese junk food. It is a bag of garlic flavored pea crackers. Sounds gross right? Not so much. They don't really have a pea flavor, I'm not sure what they are made of. They are kind of like cheetos but garlic instead of cheese flavored. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is garlic flavored here. No bad spirits for me. It is a good thing I like garlic.

Wearing make-up is hopeless here and trying to get my hair to dry is like fighting a fire with spit. It is brutally hot and I have certainly lost weight since I've gotten here. Who knows how Taiwan will change me in the coming months but already I have abandoned all desire of making myself "presentable," and have adopted the "come as you are," feel of the westerner community here. I think that is for the best.
I should have another post for you guys in a few days.
I like the Q & A Fridays.
ReplyDeleteI am confused on the garlic flavored pea crackers. Are there actually peas in them? I assume the garlic would completely overwhelm any pea flavor. They look orange not green and not really like crackers. I think perhaps they labeled it wrong :) I assumed they didn't really eat much junk food since they all seem to be so slim.
People we know that live along the Amazon River in Brazil said they have to keep everything in ziploc bags or it goes bad quickly. She said if she goes to bed with wet hair it will be green in the morning. Talk about a motivation to dry it before bed.
