The Rikon Expedition: Our new school=

Our new school=

We came out to Taiwan originally to create a brand new school with a team of teachers. Although our school is not yet open, immigrant construction workers are building day and night to try to finish it in time for the opening the week before Christmas. If the project is not finished, then the grand opening may be pushed back until after Chinese New Year. We had a field trip to Kuolai, our school, and were absolutely memorized at the natural beauty of our new surroundings.

Have a look!

Unknown said...: the "food" is actually tea. Most of the tea from Taiwan comes from this area and Pinling where we work now. It's world famous and is getting more and more rare as the art of growing tea is phasing out.; December 2, 2009 at 2:17 AM
