I treated some of my students, co-workers and friends to some fine american dining this weekend. i figured its the least i could do for all the ridiculously good chinese food ive been given. i reached into my bag of tricks, rounded up ingredients as best i could, heated up the frying pan and threw together some of the finest grilled cheese sandwiches this side of the globe. ha! they all said they liked it, then again everyone is really nice here so if they didnt like it they wouldnt've told me anyway. Ha! we'll see if they ask me to cook again, then ill know for sure whats up.
the rest of the weekend was spent with a small crew exploring the outskirts of douliou into the county that is yunlin. just a little sight seeing lead by tour guide Adelaide. heres some pictures of some stuff to be found in my neck of the woods. enjoy the colors and wonders that are countryside taiwan!

ReplyDeleteYeah good thing because you would have failed! I think botanist would have been the more appropriate term. We're not dealing with carnations here.
