Little surprises in Taiwan
Ninja July 23rd, 2008
Here are some more of the sights that I saw while in Taiwan.
What used to be someone’s small rose garden.
More freshly hung laundry. I’m a sucker for laundry. If you take a look through any of my vacation photos, you will see hung laundry, graffiti, peeling posters, doors, type, and occasionally people.
Some kind folks offered to take us out for rides to see the sunset, but I never had the time. I was stuck indoors grading homework, prepping for the next day, and oh yes, in long meetings (thought I could get away from all that).
Meet Alex the cicada (the kids named him for some odd reason). Before Taiwan, I had never seen one.
Unlike Alex, this ugly fellow did not get a name. We were constantly finding dead roaches in our showers and classrooms. These bad boys were over 3 inches long and they flew!
There were over thirty of us living in one house. People left their personal items scattered about the house. As I was heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I passed this—Whitemen Toothpaste! When I asked the owner about it, she said, “We have Blackmen Toothpaste, too. They are exactly the same, but with different labels. You do not have these brands where you live?”
