Jottings of a longtime resident of Taiwan, but with headings in Estonian. Problem with that? Two years ago this blog was a deeply earnest project in sober grey and white. Now we have learned to post pictures and Utubes, so let's start partying!

What I Did on my Holidays
The incomparable Robert Johanson has created a blog of our DWEN AN WINTER ENGLISH CAMP at Dong Hwa University in Hualien. Forty of the very best high school students on the island gathered for five days of intensive English instruction and practice. The photos include a day at an aboriginal village in the East Rift Valley, and a day at Taroko Gorge. The Dun An Foundation is personally financed by Taipei Mayor Ma Ying Jeou as a service organization for youth. Activity organizer Steven Chen told the students they didn't have to become politicians to be "players", but he hoped they would become opinion leaders for their generation. Truly a pleasure to teach these guys!
