Night markets are lovely! Now that I've ceased to be terrified of them, shopping here is a lot of fun. I bought T-shirts! On the street! That fit! The crush of humanity, pirated goods, and funky smells is not longer distressing foreign, but an exhilirating exotic scene.
I'd put something about teaching and the kids here, but I don't want to jinx anything. Tomorrow is a two-hour rehearsal for the Spectacular with the youngest kids.
I've even made peace with the food here. I think it is largely due to the new school cook, Jane, who is FAR better than the previous cook. She makes me noodles and feeds me pineapple. She cooks everything in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. She asked the kids how to say ginger in English because she only speaks Chinese and wanted to explain the dishes to us gringos. It's a shame it's happened so late in our stay.
I'll miss Taiwan.

Isn't that the way it is? You get most comfortable right before you leave. :) Now whether that's because you know you'll be leaving soon is another question... :)
By the way, good luck with the Spectacular!
No matter what, I think this has been a great experience for you and Paul. I am glad though, that it is ending on a positive note.
That is great that you finally are good on night markets and food. Sorry the Disney idea is no good. I will have to brain storm a little more and see if I can come up with something else.
