After church Rachelle and I went to the Big Buddha in Chung Wa. We had tons of fun!
I tried to lift the sword and I might of moved it one inch if that... It was really windy outside.. As you can see my dress kept filling up with air..
I was really excited cause i got to rub the Buddha's belly!!! We tried to feed the fish but by the time we got there i guess they were full

A Day In The Life of Me!!
So a lot of people have been asking me what its like to teach so I decided instead of repeating myself a million times I'll just blog it ha ha Okay so my first class of the day is my kindergartners it starts at 8:30 in the morning I have four different groups that I teach for a half hour usually my whole lesson revolves around one object like today we talked about a feather for a half hour "how light is the feather" "can you blow the feather" "I have the blue feather I want the green feather and so on" This class pretty simple sometimes I get bored like the other day we were building Cinderellas castle and I got kind of bored so I started knocking down Oscars castle he however did not find this funny :D and that's pretty much kindergarten
(the look oscar gave me when i knocked down his castle)
My next class is my lovely Kbrb2 kids... Oh words can not even begin to describe this class... This class needs a minute by minute break down ha ha oh just a little side note I have 9 boys and two girls. I start teaching at 1:30 from 1:30 to 1:55 I correct their homework while they "write down words" This time usually turns into "Jellen you didn't give me your book" "Toby what did i just tell you a second ago sit down in your chair" "Tony its not that hard you only have to write down 15 words" "Bairt please stop pretending to blow up Harry" At 2:00 we read our set books this time turns into "harry please stop drawing in your book" "Jellen this is not nap time wake up" "Michael and Jasper please follow along" "Ray the word is as not ass" from 2:25 to 2:50 we then practice are spelling words :D this part goes pretty well since they get to play a game but by the end the game turns into shoving and hitting. 2:50 to 3:10 Break time your probably thinking sweet they get a 20 minute break but oh no this is the scariest part of day break time with 9 boys turns into world war three the ninja animals vs the ninja warriors.... i must say my kids have really good sound effects but once again it turns into "NO RUNNING" "Bairt and Cindy please stop kissing each other" "Boys stop asking Cindy if you can eat her food" "Michael just because he touched your elbow doesn't mean he hit you" "and my favorite miss a Lindsey why you not married?!?!?!" Alright I promise this day gets better from from 3:10 to 3:30 we read a story i don't think I've fully made it through a story yet cause well when you put 9 boys and two girls really close together while sitting on chairs its amazing the things they can come up to do while your reading today it was lets see if I can fit my whole body in my shirt... alright so from 3:30 to 4:20 Its an activity that I plan today we talked about leaves so we went outside to pick leaves and within 5 minutes Bairt was twirling around like a ballerina Jasper and Jellen were playing tag and I was left in the middle yelling please come back and listen to me... we then took our leaves upstairs to draw and somehow b/w outside and one flight of stairs 4 of my kids lost their leaves.... so its a good thing i thought a head and picked extras :D So its now 4:20 best part its clean up time and then 4:30 GOODBYE ha ha now don't get me wrong I love my kids to death they just really know how to drive me up the wall :D

Bingo
This is for you Connie!!
Rex doesn't really talk much but he loves the song BINGO you'll notice that he doesn't have a very long attention span
Temple
We just recently got the opportunity to go to the Taipei Temple!! It was amazing! Your in the city mostly made up of the color gray and you turn the corner and bam there it is! We had a blast it was like a little piece of home.
After the temple we went to Taipei 101 which as of right now is the tallest building in the world! It was really cool on top. To get to the top you get to take the fastest elevator in the world as well it takes 30's to get to the top i was pretty light headed after the ride. Over all it was a great day we even got to eat at SUBWAY!!
Taiwan
So as most of you know i'm now living in TAIWAN!! I'm teaching english to the most adorable kids ever!! I love working with all the teachers we get along really well and so far the first two months have been AMAZING!!!
