Taiwan Tales: September 2006
http://duncanjsmith.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 18, 2006. Is it a Vegas hotel? Is it Microsoft HQ? No; it's a Buddhist monastary. From there we popped in for a drink in a nice BBQ bar with Sam and Katie(US)before home. On Saturday, I remembered that Nic had said he wanted to get into cycling while he was here, so i lent him Pascal's bike and took him on a leisurely ride up the mountain. well I thought it was leisurely! I thought. We reached the main door and stood in awe of the statues inside. We were the last to leave the monastary ...

Taiwan Tales: August 2006
http://duncanjsmith.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 25, 2006. Last weekend Pascal and I thought we'd make the most of the nice weather and go back to Kenting for a cycle and a swim. as last time, we set off after school and arrived at 1am ish; but eager to learn from our mistakes, this time we carried on round the seafront and i pitched my tent on the clifftop (in pitch blackness); had a good nights sleep! After an hour or so we got to the foot of the hills. and followed our map down the A159; now in England A means big/fast. here i...I tho...

Taiwan Tales: May 2006
http://duncanjsmith.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 15, 2006. Taiwan tales part 3: Hei Sun Wood and that song. This week we got our first typhoon warning which was exciting; went on to the met office website and watched it circle in . and then miss the island entirely. We got to the site on Satdy morning a little tired after a Friday night spent with some Australians and Canadians in Yuan Lin. The site was massive, we needed to drive between the chalets and the restuarant. Jim had brought with him a '5 in one' games set and we spent most of th...

Taiwan Tales: July 2006
http://duncanjsmith.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 29, 2006. Now I know i've commented on it before but i felt this topic warranted a post of its own. It's a world of contradictions:. All adults must wear a helmet when driving scooters. but any helmet will do. and children don't have to wear a helmet at all. be there 1 or 4 clinging to the back of the scooter! Drink driving is closely monitored by the police and people are regularly breathalised. yet there seems to be no rules against driving reckless driving without. Give way to those in ...

http://katieharding.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Deep in some blissful dream. December 13, 2005. Last night, after waiting for 3 weeks or more, I finally got an essay back from one of my PG (postgraduate) students. The topic was "Why Wearing School Uniforms is a Bad Idea". clearly this student had miscalculated slightly however, as he handed in this:. For those of you who can't read it, I shall transcribe. I laughed so hard last night that I just had to share it with you all. Wearing Fur Clothes is Bad". Where are the fur? It is for the animal! We spen...

Deep in some blissful dream. June 08, 2005. 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 :). June 01, 2005.
