As I was blog hopping last night, I noticed that everyone seems to have such fabulous lives. All sorts of people are traveling around the world. I love to travel...or at least I used to. And then---came my 2 crazy yahoos. Traveling with them isn't exactly what I would call--"fun". So, I started thinking about all the crazy places I've been. Here's a walk down memory lane in a little place called ChungHua, Taiwan!
About 7 years ago, I taught English in Taiwan to little itty bitty Taiwanese kids. Loot at that sea of black hair! If you ever want to know what it feels like to be in the minority---go to an Asian country. Sometime the only white person that we saw was ourselves in a mirror. You know you've been there too long when YOU even stop to look at a rare white person. If it looks crazy, that's because it was. We worked nearly every day for VERY long, tiring hours. (Total preparation for being a mom). You can tell by the dark circles under our eyes. But those kids were worth every minute. Hilarious! Oh good times, good---times.
Here are a few of my roomies on two very RARE but separate vacations in Kenting. (I definitely need a new bathing suit). Rach is a familiar face! Wish I knew where everyone was now. Which brings me to my "dream it Friday"....

Some of these little bitty people were 3 years old when I knew them. Like I said, THAT was 6 years ago. Can you imagine how old these little people are NOW? I can only dream what their lives are like now...ShellyShan, Hansel, Euen, Tiffany, Jake, Jack, JoAnna...I've forgotten so many names. Help me out Rach!
So I say "thank you" to all you itty bitty Taiwanese kids because while living my dream so many years ago, each of you prepared me for living my DAY to DAY dream NOW.
These 2 are my dream come true!
