driving in taiwan

i was discussing traffic lights with my kindergarten class recently. this is what they told me-green means go, red means stop, yellow means go fast.
it sure starts young here

a little note

hi there internet world. it's brad here. i have been super busy the last little while... but i was feeling really sad for our little blog... so here's a little note.

im now teaching at a really expensive private school in taichung. i teach grade one and two.... i teach science, writing ... reading... and play time. ha. these kids have everything you could ever want... including a million dollar chuck-e-cheese type playground inside the school.

today we had parents day. i had to do a 20 minute demo with the kids... and a 20 minute talk about curriculum with just the parents.... I would have been really really nervous a year or two ago about doing something like this.... but taiwan gives you very thick skin in a hurry. it was a breeze and everyone is really happy.

so in conclusion. after a few months of mayhem. we have a new place to live. new job. my cd is being mixed in the states. my new band is touring taiwan in 2 months and we're getting a puppy (for a few months to support a local charity)

theres the update. peace out man.
