Adventures!

In case you were wondering, they celebrate the regular old new year here too, in addition to Chinese new year. I hear that they set off some sweet fireworks from Taipei 101 (the world's tallest building! for now), so I'm going up to Taipei this afternoon for that. After that, the adventure begins. It's a long weekend, so Gered and I wanted to go somewhere a little more inaccessible that we wouldn't be able to get to on a normal weekend, but we haven't nailed down a place yet. We're going to try to go to the Matsu Islands, but if that doesn't work out then maybe we'll poke around some mountains in central Taiwan or something else. There is a lot of potential adventure (potenture?) here.

CUTENESS:
Some of the Little Angels were actually angelic for once and made me a fancy paper bouquet. The bouquet was decorated with koalas and a note saying "thankful your teach! Happy New Year!" on it. Witness:

We wish you a lot of peace in the new year. Peace is abundant in Taiwan (especially when cameras are present), so I am happy to share.
