An Englishman in Taiwan. Thursday, December 23, 2004. That time of year. Originally uploaded by Mike from Helston. Seasons greetings/ bah humbug to everone who reads this. Yep, nearly christmas again. I've got my shortest holiday seaon ever coming up - finish work at 5.40pm on Friday, back to work at 8.40am on the following Monday.

I teach Grade 5 (11 year olds) at the number one bilingual elementary school in the city. Life is good! Word to my Bro.

So. they are applying for a new 'right' license which means that I am unable to get a working visa. Ok' i say trying to look nonchalant ...

Originally uploaded by Mike from Helston. I think one of the biggest cultural differences between North Americans and Brits is the way Halloween is marked. The American influence on Taiwan can be clearly seen on Oct 31st/Nov 1st in pretty much all schools and later in the bars. Click on the pic to see more freaks. And so Im back!

An Englishman in Taiwan. Monday, January 24, 2005. Chinese New Year approaches. Well it's been a while since my last post. Things are splendid here, the busy exam period has just finished and we're now into a week of 'winter olympics' (sports activities for the kids) and science curriculum design coupled with the clearing of my email backlog. Here's a pic taken at the the birthday party of my great friend John (Nike Baseball t-shirt and sleazy grin). K(araoke)TV and ridiculous dancing - always fun! Mike ...
