Wow, what a difference a weekend makes! It was such a rainy weekend, but I had so much fun anyway. I had awesome talks with great friends and super fun random group dinners with my boys. Can you believe four of the five of us in the picture can speak Spanish? How random (yet awesome) to find these kinds of friends in Taiwan. I dont even have that many Spanish speaking friends back home.
On Saturday, Manuel and I were randomly stopped and interviewed for the local Taiwanese news. I was asked about my experiences learning Chinese in Taiwan and asked to comment on American universities with Chinese language programs. My interview was Chinese (which was both exciting and nervewrecking) and Manuel spoke in English. Fast forward the video to second 0:55 if you just want to watch me in action. Because of my eye surgery, I am back to wearing glasses full time, which really put a damper on my 5 seconds of fame. Hopefully next time they stop me for an interview I will be all glammed up and fashionable and not geeky and tired. Here's hoping.
