Hi! I found your blog and have really enjoyed looking through all of your pictures. I feel like I am taking a trip back in time. I lived in Taipei for a year teaching at the Taipei American School in 1983-84. I was in college on a semester abroad program and decided to stay on and live and travel around Asia. I loved eating red bean ice! I had a blue scooter that I dangerously rode all around Taipei to the many English teaching jobs that I had. I can relate to so many of the experiences that you have shared even though it was 25 years ago. I am a midwest gal, married, 3 kids living in central Wisconsin now and a teacher too- I used to teach kindergarten but now I am k-2nd grade computers. I would be really excited if you would add me as a facebook friend. You can search for me- Heidi G. Pence Thank you for sharing!!!
I began taking a photo each day on the day I moved to Buenos Aires in August 2006. It's been over five years now, through normal working life in Argentina, a trip all around South America, a long visit home to the US, teaching in Taiwan, traveling around the Middle East, living in Vancouver, and traveling around Canada.
I have a few lapses, but I decided that it was better to feel good about the blog instead of feeling like a slave to it.
These photos are the things that I see - things that are common or interesting or odd or delicious or beautiful or terrible - things that catch my eye in some way. This blog is a way for me to keep in touch with family and friends so very very far away, an extended photography lesson, and a kind of daily journal of my own impressions of places both new and well-known.
