We’ve been running around and haven’t had much time for Web stuff, but I wanted to give you a quick update.
The last few days have been action-packed: we’ve been observing some classes at our school in preparation to begin teaching on Monday; we undertook a medical exam necessary to obtain our visas (we both got a clean bill of health); we purchased a used scooter (a ’95, 125cc model; make unknown, but it’s black and has “FUZZY” emblazoned in white on its flanks); and just this morning, we secured an apartment. We’re feeling more and more settled every day.
I’ll be writing more in the coming days. In the meantime, thanks to Bethanne F. for pointing out this recent Washington Post travel article about Taiwan. Check it out. It provides some good context for the upcoming presidential elections, among other things.
