Waterfall!!

So after realizing that we are living in a big city, to me it seems like New York, I got to escape to the most beautiful place I have seen in a while. Seven of the teachers pilled in Kelli's car and headed to the mountains where we went to a local waterfall. It must not have been that secretive though because there were like 7 big brown signs on how to get to it... when in reaility they needed like 2 signs :) So anyways the hike in was so beautiful and the waterfall was small but the area around it was breathtaking!!! I realized why I wanted to be in Taiwan. It was the spot that made me like "ok.. this is where I want to be." Getting out of the city was nice because the last couple days have been a tad overwelming. So I climbed the waterfall on a rope (slipped off a couple times-sorry mom) and then jumped off a small cliffside, saw monkies, and ate some amazing fruit up on a big rock overlooking the area. Needless to say it was an incredible day. Then we had our teachers welcome/going away party, at TGIF :) Hello American food.

Well today I am going to get lost in the city, and learn all that Taichung has to offer, and hopefully more Chinese. New friends, new food, and soon to be new Taiwanese babies to teach. It's going to be a good year!
Carpe Diem!
