I didn't want to say big in case someone thought there was BIG news which there isn't. Hmm, what did Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday hold.....well the reality is that teaching for 4 1/2 hours kind of makes me tired. Then add about 30 minutes travel on each end and I usually am ready to relax. But we have an easy morning and I head out around 1 pm. It's quite relaxing even if it is a flip flop of common schedules. I enjoy all the students although some antics are not so enjoyable but I think I am taking it a bit too seriously.
I rode the scooter, 150 cc, home from Gangshan Friday night so we rode the scooter to Melissa's and back Saturday. It only took Colleen half an hour to relax! Saturday afternoon Melissa had a meeting so we picked up McMuffins and took to her for breakfast and then did a few errands. I managed to ride back today without any wrong turns! I think it's easier than the train although it will be a bit cool at times, 20 degrees and 40km does feel a bit cool in shorts! I will wear a jacket on the way home at 7, tee hee.
Saturday evening we met with one of Melissa's former adult student's at Dream Mall, http://www.taiwanfun.com/south/kaoping/shopping/0706/0706Dreammall.htm has a good article and for the more inclined http://www.dream-mall.com.tw/ but not much English! We had supper at the 7th floor half view restaurant. Some of the food was a challenging adventure but we could look out over a wide area however it gets dark here shortly after 6 almost year round so it's lights and more lights. And of course shopping at Daiso, a Japanese Dollarama type store and the grocery store Wellcome.
Sunday was church, lunch at church (some mystery food), some more minor things at Melissa's place and a wrap for another weekend! Oh we did get some things for Christmas baking and that gathering may be next Sunday evening. We have a wedding on Saturday early afternoon and one or two Christmas events Saturday evening. Melissa was going to have one but decided to wait until January, there's just too much on the go.

We so much enjoy tour stories. We do often think of you and hope that all is as well as possible. You are so fortunate to even have +70 there. We have been in the deep freeze for almost a week now. at least -30. Its so not what we enjoy. We received your Christmas card yesterday. Thanks a lot. This morning (Dec.17) we have our small group in Church for the last time before Christmas. Best wishes!
Ernest.
p.s. Yesterday I went past "Tims" and the thought came that we should meet for coffee!!
Thanks, there isn't ANY coffee here that can match Tim's. Starbuck's is a bit too harsh. Ok we are booked for the Thursday after Easter if you are available. We should be over our flight effects by then.
Please give Rose a hug for us.
Steve & Colleen
