Mike and Erin - World Adventures: November 2008

Wulai

we just returned from a little trip we took last night to Wulai, a little vacation town popular for natural hot springs and waterfalls. tucked between some mountains and surrounded by rivers, its an aboriginal township that still practices its origianl culture and traditions. so along with gorgeous views and soaking in sulfur enriched waters, we got to experience a bit of anchient asian culture as well. we stayed in a hot spring hotel/spa and enjoyed our own little hot spring in our room. today we hiked around the top of the waterfall area for a while and then soaked our feet in a natural hot spring river, which is pretty much as cool as it sounds. it ws really relaxing so theres nothing too crazy to talk about so ill keep this one short. we posted a lot of pictures though, so keep on scrollin!

Taiwan and poopoo

those of you who have been talking to us since weve been here know a little bit about taiwan's infatuation with poopoo. the country loves it and its always coming out of my kids' mouths. phrases such as "teachuh poopoo mike" or "teachuh you aw so poopoo" are comonly used in my classroom. clever team names like Poopoo monkey, monkey poopoo, and poopoo boys/girls are always used when we play games in class. these are just a few examples of poopoo's influence on the country we currently reside in. to further elaborate, ive posted some more examples for you too see...enjoy!!!
