Where in the world is D?

Hey All. This blog is not much more than my own quirky thoughts on the world. 2008 was a mess, 2009 finds me in a Taiwan! I'm still in Taiwan in 2010. I continue to be a sojourner of sorts right now. This is my way to find some peace that has been long sought and short to come. That Peace is starting to reveal itself. Reflections will include, Teaching in a new country, family, learning a new language and culture and the ever lingering... love lost and sought. Welcome!

1st Day As Teacher Darryl Pictures

Where in the World is D Today?

Smiling at these beautiful kids.

I don't have a lot of interesting things to say about this. I wanted to document my first day and these are the pictures from it.

If you don't know, I teach in a program called the English Village. I teach in two 'Scenarios'. One is a restaurant where I teach some vocab, character education (Politeness and Respect) and role play that particular scenario. My scenarios are Restaurant and Hotel. The pictures are from the hotel. You see the kids checking in the hotel. Teaching Check in and Check out and Tip to 5th graders is no small task. But I am a complete goof coming in and out of the hotel. It's funny how 10-11 year olds "get" my sense of humor. :)

This girl was my "Bell Person" she got to keep the tips! The kids were like what?!
