Boje and I are making it official... by formally studying Chinese at Feng Chia University in Taichung. We go to school at 8 am every weekday morning (ughhhhhnnnn) then go home for lunch, then head off to work until late at night. If you notice a slightly haunted look in my eyes in any of our photos for the next three months, that's why!
We don't qualify for Level 1, so we're actually in Level 0. We're currently learning the phonetic alphabet (bopomofo) and how to read our own Chinese names. My name is very easy to identify and write, and I've been told that "林" is pretty much the "Smith" of family names in Taiwan, so I'm lucky. Boj, on the other hand, has his work cut out for him.
