2-16

The twenty-something daughter of one of my friends jetted off yesterday to spend a year in Taiwan teaching English and although of course it's hard for the family to have her half a globe away, and hard for her to be so far away, I'm sure, I'm so glad for her because it will be an exciting adventure as well as fascinating because it's such a different culture and useful because of the people and knowledge of people she will accumulate for whatever she'll decide to do afterwards, as travel and unpredictable experiences almost always are.

  1. I'd love to do that if I were twenty something again. The son of a friend of mine went to Kyoto about five years ago to teach English, he just came back with a Japanese wife and speaking so I'm told near flawless Kyoto Japanese.
