So, I know it has been a while since I updated. Won't be completely updating everything that has happened but going to put something at least so I have something for April ( Read more... )

Even though I wasn't planning to go back to Taiwan this year, I am currently in Taipei. As I mentioned in my last post I am volunteering with MLB International helping the Dodgers' trip to Taiwan. It has been 4 days and even though it was been physically tiring, it has also been a rewarding experience. However, I don't have enough time to do my ( Read more... )

Yeah, my blogging time has gone down the drain the last few months, which I suppose is a good thing as well. Last month was crazy and I really had no free time besides a few hours here and there. Once again, I post an edited version of my monthly report to Fulbright ( Read more... )

Everyone ran a different distance (3 km ( Read more... )

Day 2 was not as eventful. For lunch, we all went to eat kaiten zushi (rotating sushi). I loved how when you order something off the menu it would come to you on a little shinkansen train though. Reed came by later with Lisa Gano (he had met up with her earlier) and even though he had already eaten a bowl of ramen beforehand, he still ate quick a ( Read more... )

Was planning to write about Thanksgiving earlier, but then I got sick, which was quite a bummer. Still not completely well so these might be shorter than usual ( Read more... )
