1st Rotary Lunch

I went to my first Rotary lunch today! It was really cool and the food was great. We two guest speakers from Children's Aid. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to go to another one.

Things I began to learn today

Hello=Nihao
Good morning=zaoshang hao
Good evening=wanshang hao
My name is Faith=wo-de mingzi shi Faith
Pleased to meet you=hen gaoxing renshi ni
Goodbye=zaijian
Goodnight=wan an
See you tomorrow=mingtian jian

And so it begins...

So today....I'm going to start the "15-MINUTE CHINESE" book/cd course. Unfortunately, this does not mean I will learn Chinese in 15 minutes. It means in order to learn the basics...I should do 15 minutes of the cd everyday for approximately 14234094575 days. But don't worry, I'm definately going to conquer this.

This pretty much sums up the Camp Wanakita weekend...that's where all the exchange students living in Ontario found out their countries and met eachother! It was so much fun. For all of the photos, go to this web address:

It's only the beginning

Hi! nín hǎo! My name is Faith and I'm 16 years old. I currently live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. A little about me for those who don't know: I've always wanted to see the world. I love rowing in the summer bright and early. I've been a martial artist for 11 years now...I'm a black belt in both taekwondo and karate. I love to ski and I attempt to snowboard...attempt being the keyword here. I love to skate and swim...to kayak. Music holds a prominent role in my life...I love to listen, play guitar, and sing. My family includes my mom, dad, 2 younger brothers and 1 younger sister. Oh, and my dog Snoopy. I'm sure I'll come up with more later.

The reason I've started this blog is to document my journey as a Rotary Youth Exchange student from Canada to Taiwan in 2010-2011. So welcome to my life, I hope you enjoy it.
