Glorious England!

I am home.

It's positively too delicious for words to be with my family, and England is more beautiful than I remember. I went for a walk with my Dad yesterday and was overwhelmed with how pretty the countryside is... I guess I'm starved of 'greenness' most of the time in Taiwan!

I'm off again today however - flying to Tobago in the Caribbean to enjoy 2 weeks of sun, sand, sea and whatever else the island has to offer! I'm so excited, just finished packing :)

Will get some pictures on here soon to make you all jealous.

Mix and Match!

Well, its Wednesday morning and I'm very excited because I'm flying home to England tonight!! Lucky me. Anyway, I thought I'd add some random pictures of the various things I've been doing over the last few days. Chronologically speaking they are:

1. Last night at school.
Some silly pictures of one of my baby classes drawing hands on the board (we are learning all the body parts at the moment!). Also, one of my Chinese teachers, Stella, is leaving in 2 weeks so I wanted to get some pictures of her with our class before she left.

2. Sunday in Lukang.
Martin and I drove through to Lukang (about 30 minutes away) on Sunday to do some shopping. Lukang is a very cultural town with lots of shops selling traditional things like lanterns and Chinese clothes. I got some really beautiful shoes made... you just tell them what style you want and they make them right then and there for you. Very cool.

3. Gold Class Movie.
On Saturday night Martin and I treated ourselves to a Gold Class movie in Taichung. It's very exciting - you pay NT$500 and are treated like real VIP. The actual cinema only seats 32 because you sit in huge recliner lounger chair things with a little table for your free snacks and drinks. Excellent - I just love being pampered!

4. Martin's temporary mustache.
No comment.


I bask in the appreciation!!
