I arrived in Taiwan in August '05. As an elementary school teacher from Toronto, I took a leave of absence 2 pursue a teaching position at a public school in Douliu City, Taiwan. Teaching is my passion & it has led me to Taiwan. God opened the door for me..This is my story and my journey..Pls read my testimony on this blog: "Live Strong"...(Nov. archives) "My food, is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work". John 4:34 NIV

Westside Story/Taipei

Over the past weekend, a small group of us went to watch The Westside Story at Dr. Sun-Yat Sen Memorial Hall. It was a pretty good musical! We also did some shopping over the weekend! I got some bags, a pair of shoes, and a camera! Ha!
