About this blog

Although I have lived in a "Chinese" country (Taiwan) for the past five years, I have not a clue what to expect. I have an idea that playing basketball with the locals will open up a whole new intimate adventure between us. I have an idea that I will be educated beyond belief. I have an idea that I will be using chopsticks a lot! I have an idea that I will have a difficult time understanding their Mandarin and vice versa. I have an idea that Tibet and a hopeful hike to Everest Base Camp will be magical. I have many ideas, many of which may be shattered, confirmed, or adjusted. I have an idea that I have no idea what lays ahead and that's exactly how I like it. Enjoy if you will.
