New Address

Here is the address for the apartment I'll be living in:

2F., No.142, Zhongnan St., Nangang Dist., Taipei City 115, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

My roommate and I will move in sometime around August 10th or 11th. It would be great to get some snail mail from time to time if any one thinks about it!

Orientation

On July 8th, I attended an orientation in Indianapolis with three other Indiana teachers who will also be teaching in Taiwan. It was a great opportunity to meet the other teachers and the contacts from the Indiana Department of Education.

Also, I was contacted by a representative from my school about housing options and found out I will have a roommate from California. She will also be teaching at the same school. We should be living in Taipei City, which is similiar to living in Chicago.

My parents' threw me a small goodbye party this past weekend, which was filled with family and close friends. It was really nice to spend time with everyone before I leave.

My next step is to find host gifts from around the region to take along and present to the school's principal and co-teachers, and for when I am invited to others' houses, etc.

I'll be leaving about 2 weeks and I'm getting really excited! Can't wait to continue to share this with all of you!
