ASIA ADVENTURE June 25 - September 5, 2000 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the summer of 2000 I embarked on my greatest adventure to date, a 72-day trip that took me all over... Newark, New Jersey; Detroit, Michigan; Tokyo, Japan; Hong Kong, China; Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand; and Taipei, Taiwan. Following are some pictures of that travel adventure as well as new friends and students. The bulk of the time (60 days) was spent in Chungli, Taiwan, teaching English at the American Language Village. We had three 18-day teaching sessions in my two months there. I'll never forget the kids, the teachers, or the people of Taiwan. I will return in December for a second go-around! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
