This is my last week of teaching here in Taichung. After Friday, I'm done. It is bittersweet. I very much love my students and I have fallen in love with Taiwan, but after program is done, I'm moving on.
To what, you ask?
Um... everything?
Friday I kick out of here to Japan for the weekend.
Sunday, I'm back on Taiwanese soil but Monday I'm turning around and leaving for Hong Kong where I will meet up with my Aunt. She and I are going to tour through China, Korea, and then back to Taiwan over the next couple of weeks. It is going to be a humdinger of a good time (sorry, I've been reading Roald Dahl's The BFG with some of my little ones, it sticks after a while.), but all of that travel and wrapping up of loose ends and the like takes a lot of time!
While I hope that you all tune in for my whirlwind adventures in Asia, because sightseeing and travel makes for a lot better blog fodder than teaching the same group of students in the same classroom every day, I am here to tell you that you probably won't hear from me for the rest of the week. There is laundry to be done, an apartment to clean, a classroom to clean, things to return, baggage to be packed and sent away, a backpack (meant to sustain me for three weeks) to be packed and only about 1 million other things to do.
Not to mention, I have to plan my trips. I haven't booked a flight to Japan yet, I have a very rough idea of where I'm going in China (naturally there are no flight or train tickets purchased yet,) and there is still all of Korea to think about. Oh boy, I better stop thinking about this now and just start doing.
I'll get back to you all in a few days. I should be back in Wisconsin in late August, for all of you there who care. While I'm on the road I will probably post daily or every other day, depending on the availability of internet.
