Some of the final moments...



Teaching all about the Dragon Boat Festival, showing off my mad chinese skils and horrid artistic skills (I had kids yelling out "horse" "cow" "pig"....). After this the classes at each school made a boat each out of paper and all manner of crafts and we had a legit dragon boat race around the track. Prizes and a life of glory awaited the winning teams!



More of the same class, the same lesson and me doing my Thursday morning thing.




And what about nature you ask? Well, leaving here for the more urban area of Hualien next year means that our connection to both an awsome butterfly region, a wonderful naturalist who turns every Tuesday into a natural history of Taiwan lesson for me (and gives me lots of coffee and fruit...) and has become a good friend and the critters of the forests and the plains will be limited. We will enjoy it while it lasts. Here is a new one to us - a moth, not a butterfly, to be!






See ya soon sluggy...
