Hello,

long time no post:)

I have decided to travel again, and as I’ve so badly missed Taiwan, it was my first choice. So on 21st September I said my goodbyes to everyone in Europe and took the plane to Taipei.

The travel was long as I could not sleep on the plane and I was not in the mood to watch movies. However one of my neighbors from Dubai to Taipei was quite interesting. He was a TV producer from Chile traveling to Taiwan to do some business. We talked for a while and I taught him some Chinese

The travel went smoothly (however it started badly already in Brno where I missed the bus to Vienna :D) and after 19 hours I set my feet on Taiwanese ground again.

Elaine was there to pick me up from the airport. It was soooo good to see her again and we both shed a tear or two. I was so happy as I though probably I would never come to Taiwan again. We had a dinner together with Rosemary and Peter and Irene and then went to a school to meet Sarah. I will be staying in her appartement for two weeks.

As I am writing this after a week here I do not want to go to details. I had a wonderful time since I arrived, I’ve met teachers from school and also my friends, students that graduated from school already. I will give some lessons to students in these two weeks and then head to Hualien to meet with Alice and A-Chen.

There was a typhoon on Monday, my first in my life. It was not one of the most severe they had here however two people died. They say every time some people die during typhoon. But we stayed only at home and did nothing, just slept and ate. There was a typhoon holiday on Tuesday as a part of Taoyuan was without power for the whole day. I was very sad as I could not go to school and give lessons, and also as I should have had few hours of art class with YiCai.

Here are some pictures that we took with my friends, students that I know from last time…
