This is my first blog for my Taiwan trip.  I am still in Cedar Falls.  Right now I am taking a 2 and a half week class on Marriage and Family.  I am taking this class for some humanities credit at Iowa State University.  Because I am taking 9 credits this summer, I will be able to graduate a semester early, December 2011.

I now have my Visa and passport ready to go.  My fight itinerary is set and I will be leaving June 5 from Des Moines, Iowa.  I have put my fight Itinerary on my home page.  I am getting excited for this trip.  It will be a great experience.

    Fun Fact!!!!!!!!
    (I will try and update this often.)

    1.
    In Taiwan they don't normally drink anything with their meal because they always have rice.  They say the rice will fill up with the moisture and make their stomach hurt.  Many restaurants don't have anything for you to drink.  After you eat, you find a near by tea shop and get something there.

    2.
    There is a separate lane for mopeders because there are so many here.
    3.
    Kleenexs are used as facial tissues, napkins, paper towels, and toilet paper!

    4.
    You can count to 9 on one hand in Taiwan.

    5.
    You shouldn't place your chop sticks in your food.  It is correct to set them on top of your bowl.  Sticking them in the bowl represents incense in ashes, which is done in temples.
