I originally created this blog to make sure I don't lose my English but after about two months of living in Taipei, I realized that I need to improve my Chinese...oh and of course improving my English won't hurt either :)

Eating escargot at Pizza Hut
Today was my first time teaching a young class of about 8-9 year olds. I'm learning to speak slower which I'm happy about! You have to automatically speak slower to teach a younger class otherwise the students don't understand what you're talking about. I know I speak pretty fast but I didn't think it was that fast where it would be a problem for me and my teaching. My relatives joke around with me and tell me to slow down lol I'm getting better now and I'm speaking slow enough where I pace each word in my sentences haha
Tonight one of my advanced level classes that I'm teaching had a farewell dinner for Daniel. Vera, who is the coteacher for the class, invited me and it was nice to get to know more of the students. We ate at Pizza Hut. I knew that Pizza Hut was different in Taiwan and that in China too it is much more fancy and sophisticated but it was insane! The picture above are scooters used to deliver pizza. Since there were about 17 of us, we ordered multiple dishes including pasta, chicken, seafood/potato soup, and fried squid which I mistakened it for an onion ring lol I even had escargot which was delicious. They offered awesome drinks which I got the fruit tea that had pieces of apples and oranges in it. The servers were dressed all nicely wearing headsets. It was definitely a nice restaurant and the food wasn't cheap at all. The best part of the whole night though was getting to talk to the students..well sort of. I was speaking Chinese and needing Daniel's girlfriend to translate lol But the students are about 12-14 years old and they were playing these fun hand and talking games. One of the students asked me why I speak fast haha I didn't really know how to answer!
