Things I Like About Taiwan, Part One
Gardens and Straw Hats: even though Taipei is a huge city, there's always a garden or park nearby
Scooters: everyone rides 'em
Bicycles: everyone rides these, too!
Teaching: once again, I have rediscovered my love for teaching children.
Beautiful architecture: I pass the National Concert Hall everyday on my way to work.
The weekend Flower Market: several city blocks' worth of gorgeous tropical plants

Awesome neighbors: Ben and Beth live in the apartment downstairs. Before we moved in, they stocked our fridge for us and even put ice cream in the freezer! After we moved in, Beth cheerfully helped me deep clean our apartment...for several hours! They are a blessing in our lives here. In this picture, Beth and I just finished re-potting our flower market purchases.
