(26 days y'all!)

I finally got my VISA!

After a long and tedious struggle with various health forms, travel to and from the Taiwanese embassy, etc, I am happy to announce that I have received my VISA! Only a few more weeks until my big adventure!

47 MORE DAYS!!!

Rotary's Blues For Food

Anto and I volunteered at Rotary's Blues for Food in Sudbury and met some new friends. The event was a great success! Great music, delicious food, and we raised near 50k for the foodbank!

Meet Jordan!

This is Jordan Carroll of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario. He's going to Taiwan just like me. Tomorrow I'm driving down to visit him and hang around the mall for a couple hours! We shall have plenty of fun.

I've received my guarantee forms!

I found out where I'll be living, my school, my Rotary counselor, and my first host family! I sent e-mails to my first family and counselor today, and I'm so excited to get a reply. I won't name the family yet, just in case they don't wish to be published online. But I will say that they have a 19 year old girl and a 14 year old boy, which is so great! I won't be the only teenager hahaha! From what I've been told by other exchange students who are in Taiwan now, I'm told that I'll be living near/in downtown Taipei. I'll be arriving in Taipei in late August and the first day of school is on September 1st. I'm so beyond excited right now, and I will update when I know more! Zàijiàn 再見
