Oh dear, my poor neglected blog. Today is June 1st and I'm looking at the 3 wee little posts I did for May, and they were all Utube thingys. For shame. Although those Codco sketches rock - if anyone knows where I get find more, let me know!
What can I say? Facebook and work have eaten my life. I love Taiwan, but at the moment I am burnt the frig out. I haven't been home for about a year and half and I cannot, cannot wait to see everyone. I can't wait for the long summer nights and fresh air and Canadian beer! I had these constant fantasies of Cadbury's Cream Eggs for a while and was cursing myself for not bribing people at home to send me some or at least put some in the freezer for me. I have been making lists of things to buy, people to see, places to go, things to eat, music to absorb, movies to watch (Trailer Park Boys will be one of the first) and good haircuts and Shoppers Drug Mart and MooMoo's Ice Cream. Yes, I am excited about going to Shoppers Drug Mart. I'm not ashamed!
On to more complaining; last year, it rained for 3 weeks straight. This year, the rainy season has been replaced with this kind of thick, stagnant, humidity soup that just hangs everywhere and makes your feel like your are coated with a thin layer of hot syrup. It like, totally ruins your hair. The kindergarten students run around for their 20 minutes of outside play and they lose 3 pounds....wait....I should try that....
Anyhoo, it's Friday and my boyfriend is cooking me dinner and we're going to drink some imported beer from Thailand. Life is still good.

I think this is one of my favourite Codco sketches ever. I forgot about the glass eye bit! Enjoy.

Taiwan Drift
A coworker showed me this at work yesterday. I'm not sure how I feel about the Basement Jaxx soundtrack that goes along with it or the number thing, but it's a good example of the scooter chaos in Taiwan. Enjoy! I do this every day!

Gosh, I'm a wee bit tired.
Ugh blah ick. Tomorrow I will have been working 11 hour days at work for 2 weeks straight. Every morning I've been subbing for kindergarten and those kids wipe the floor with my arse. And there's this one kid who seems like a definite ADD case. Either that or his parents let him wash down his fruit loops with a hot, steaming cup of liquid gluclose everyday.
We also have the Annual Class Presentations this week (ACPs). I was thinking, "hey, I'm the head teacher, I don't have to do an ACP, this will be great! I'll escape all that pressure..." How silly of me. I've been asked repeatedly for the past 4 weeks about the ACPs and how they're coming along and that I should make sure they're really good and what are the teachers doing and oh my God, I hope the parents can hear the friggin' kids speak and make sure they don't shag up their words and say things like "my home have a computer" oh dear Jesus no.
But on Friday there will be the last ACP and only one day left of subbing and then I can go back to my normal routine where I have time to go for a run and not eat take out everyday! And make phone calls! Whoo-hoo!
And soon (June?) I will have a new camera and upload my own pics for the purpose of making my writing more interesting, instead of stealiing them from the internet.

goin's on....
Busy, busy, busy! Tomorrow I start the first day of 2 1/2 weeks of subbing for a kindergarten class, the teachers at my school have their annual class performances starting in about 10 days and we're trying to organize the new school year, which will start in July. I also just started taking lessons with a private Chinese tutor and a yoga class. So haven't been pausing much lately....in fact, I'm so tired at the moment that the thought of going to sleep gives me a little tingle in my belly. It's pretty bad when closing your eyes and having a little nap is a secret thrill.
My Chinese tutor had a laugh at my Chinese name, which is printed on my ARC (Alien Resident Card. I'm an alien! I always knew it was true). When you're a foreigner and you move to Taiwan, you get a Chinese name which is basically a phonetic translation of your name into Mandarin. For the past 3 1/2 years, I've thought my name (which kind of goes "Boo Jee Er") meant "fresh clean cloth." I was told it was a very pretty name, like pure linen or something. But really, it means a cloth that you clean something with. So I really am just a j-cloth. Sigh.
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th! Oooooooo! Good luck! I hope the little kindys are nice to me.

Holy crap, it's April.....
And the first week of April is almost over! Damn. I am expecting this month to be pretty nuts, I'm subbing for kindergarten for about 2 1/2 weeks, the elementary teachers all have their class performances at the end of the month, I just started classes with a new Chinese Tutor and I'm now taking yoga once a week.
This weekend is a four day one, like a lot of you crowd have at home, but it's not because of Easter, it's due to Tomb Sweeping Day, which was yesterday. And although this weekend is extra long, we have to make up the Friday day off by working next Saturday. It's because of the Lunar calendar, Tomb Sweeping Day lands on the Thursday and they give us the Friday "off" so you get a long weekend, but then that day has to get made up....anyway, it's a new policy the Taiwanese government and workaholic society have come up with! We get another one like this in June for Dragon Boat Festival.
My poor blog, I feel like I've been neglecting it since I recently became sucked into facepage.com. Poor bloggy.
Still no new camera yet, but I might bite the bullet next week! More later.

What I'm listening to and watching and stuff
I just got me a whole bunch of new music from Olivier and I can't stop listening to Indochine. They've from France and have been around since 1981. They sound a bit like Joy Division and The Cure. And I understand every 4th or 5th word or so.
Blockbuster has finally got the second season of Desperate Housewives and I watched the first 4 episodes on Sunday. I love Edie, she's such a ho.
I just finished reading "Inconceivable" by Ben Elton which was left over from my fluffy vacation reading. Apparently they made a movie out of it called "Maybe Baby" or something. Anyway. It was ok. I hate it when book critics rage about a novel being "uproariously funny!!! Laugh out loud hilarious!!" It sets the bar too high. But I guess "clever and mildly amusing" doesn't sell paperbacks.
I saw "Dream Girls" a couple of weeks ago and it's worth seeing for Eddie Murphy. I also recently saw pirated versions of "The Pursuit of Happiness" and "The Departed". Sometimes I can't believe how easy it is to see movies now. I remember when driving into Stephenville to watch "Splash!" was one of the highlights of the year.
Besides that, I'm looking for a new Chinese Tutor as mine bailed because she's teaching at a university and is too busy for little ol' me. We have a 4 day weekend April 4th - 8th and I'm trying to figure out what to do.
Hopefully I will get a new camera soon and have photos to post once again.

My First Bra....
....bought in Taiwan that is. I finally summoned up my patience and ventured out to find a bra that would fit me here in tiny person land. I have been living here for almost 4 years and have not even bothered trying to see if they have my size, besides a quick glance here and there in a mall and never finding anything bigger than a b-cup. Or anything that is not padded. But I just wanted a new one. Something pretty.... So I went to The Easy Shop. Yes, that's its name. It's a very popular lingerie chain here in Taiwan.
According to Easy Shop standards, I am a size E. I cannot believe it. E for "enormous, compared to our standards! Ha!" Or E for "English Teacher boobs."
In the dressing rooms, there are little buzzers you can press to summon the salesladies. I didn't press it, but the salesgirl came in anyway and showed me how I could make the bra fit better by putting her hand inside the bra (from the side, under my armpit) and shoving my boob and any excess flesh into the cup. "See? Fit much better."
Oh well, I guess it's better than ordering online.

More tunnel pics
Here's a few more shots of the tunnels.
Here's Olivier going to explore. I was scared I would get stuck so I didn't go.
Tourists underground.
Guns and prices.

My blog will look stupid temporarily because Blogspot are a bunch of tools.
I'm starting to get really annoyed with blogspot. First the whole "we're going Beta!" and forcing me to change the email address I sign in with. Then for awhile everytime I signed in from home it would all appear in Chinese so I had to dick around with that. Now, all I wanted to do was to change one little thing on my template and then it forces me to upgrade to the NEW template changer thingy (giving me no other option) and then fucks up everything. The headers are gone from my links. Where's my goddamn Picasa web albums? Now I have to redo the whole bastardly thing again.
I know it's not a big deal, but you know, it's like when you mop the floor and then someone walks across it with muddy shoes. It only takes a second to sweep it up, but you'd think they'd be more careful. Why do the internets try to constantly fix things that aren't broken? And it's late and I'm tired and I don't want to be on my computer anymore. Grrrrrrr......
tired and annoyed,
Bridget

Cu Chi Tunnels, post 1
Here's some more pictures from the Viet Nam trip.
The Cu Chi Tunnels were an elaborate system of tunnels built outside of Saigon and took some 25 years to build, initially started by the Viet Minh. The soil in the Cu Chi area is red earth and was ideal for creating tunnels during the war against the French. The VC took over the old tunnels, made new extensions and created this extremely organized network for basing attacks.
If you ever go to Saigon, definitely go on the Cu Chi tour. Our tour guide was this crazy guy who worked as an information officer for the Americans and after the war he was thrown in jail for 4 years. He was very outspoken and interesting. We have a couple of short films of him talking, I'll try to upload them here later (when I figure out how to do that!)
Another thing about the Cu Chi tour is that if you want, you can pay a dollar (US) a bullet and go fire off Russian AK-47s, 30-60 machine guns and many, many other guns from the war in the firing range. So while you're walking around the jungle looking at the tunnels you can hear gunfire off in the distance.
Check out the "klipping armpit" trap and then the kind of childlike illusration of such traps in use! Eeesh.
Here's Olivier in the destroyed American tank.

More photos
Olivier just gave me some more of our vacation photos, so I'll add them here over the next while.
I got a chance to meet up with my friend Nic for breakfast in Saigon, he and Meghan moved to Saigon in August - they were my neighbours here on Soho Street for awhile.
Here I am obviously saying something amazing and unfrigging believable.

New blogs and cold weather
Holy crap, it's March 6th! Time is having it's way with me. There are less than 4 months left in the school year, I can't believe it.
Today it is cold and wet. I know I shouldn't complain about the weather as there's no snow here and on Sunday I was hiking in the mountains in shorts and sandals, but riding a scooter in the cold rain really sucks. My fingers are still cold and I've been here for an hour. Maybe I have a circulation problem.
I've added links to two new blogs from friends in the sidebar, fabulous Newfoundland women who are off running around the world! Rhonda Matthews in currently working in Afghanistan and Julia Rogers (formerly Thompson, Strawberry from Hatcher!) who is a bridge officer on an offshore vessel. Such exciting lives! I'm jealous.
Must go, peas out.

New web album chock full of new vaykay photos
I've got all the new photos in the new Picasa web album in me task bar. Checkit.
First day back at work today and I was pleasantly surprised to find my Christmas presents from Liz and Pat on my desk! It was Christmas in late February. I don't know if it's Canada Post or a lack of Taiwanese postal workers that can read English, but my mail has been really pokey lately.
My brother sent me his new album which I am currently listening to for the 2nd time and a plethora of music from Newfoundland with detailed descriptions and all organised in a cd case. Patrick rocks! I showed it to my fellow Newfoundland coworker April (townie), who knows many of the musicians personally and she was all homesick. And Liz sent me more CDs and a cool starfish which many kindergarten students were intrigued with and Smarties, which have already been inhaled. Yay Chinese New Year presents, yay!!!
yay music and photos and chocolate. Whoo hoo!

vacation summary so far - mostly up, one big down....
Thought I'd jot down some of the highlights and the one big dark point of our trip so far....
I met up with Olivier in Ko Tao, Thailand on Feb. 4th and we stayed in a little bungalow on Sairi Beach for about 5-6 days. We swam in the ocean every day and it was very relaxing. We didn't do much sightseeing - one day we rented scooters and drove around to the various beaches, but mainly it was very lazy - just what I needed! I took some pictures with my lovely Canon 512 Powershot.
After Ko Tao, we took a boat and a bus to Krabi and stayed on Hat Ton Sai. The Krabi province is very beautiful, tall limestone cliffs that end in white sand beaches. We swam a lot and rented sea kayaks and paddled around. I took lots of pictures.
We flew from Krabi to Bangkok for a shopping day before heading to Saigon. I was very excited about coming back to Vietnam, I was here in Hanoi a couple of years ago and I was looking forward to seeing the south. And taking lots of pictures with my fancy camera. But, and this is the low part, on our first day walking around Saigon, I was coming out of a temple with my camera in my hand and I was "motorcycle robbed" or however you call it. A girl riding on the back of a motorcycle snatched it out of my hands and it was gone. Took 2 seconds. Needless to say I was very upset and very, very pissed off. Still am a bit, have occasional fantasy where I relive the moment and I picture myself reaching out as they drive off and I grab her by the hair....she had the really bad brassy dye job that a lot of Asian girls get when they try to make their hair lighter...anyway, I won't go into the details of my hostile revenge fantasy.
Besides that, the holiday has still been good. I've been trying not to let it taint my opinion of Vietnam, although I do feel myself feeling quite mistrustful. Olivier has been great and lots of fun to travel with. He took some pictures with his camera so I'll still have some mementos. We went out to Mui Ne, a beach area with fantastic sand dunes and it was really beautiful. We leave to go back to Taiwan on the 23rd and it's back to work on the 26th. Hope everyone is well, will post pictures (the ones that aren't gone forever!! Sob!) soon.

In Saigon
We got into Ho Chi Minh yesterday evening and today is New Year's Day, so everything is very colourful (and there's probably not a lot open). We're here until the 23rd and hoping to make a day trip out to the Chi Cu Tunnels and a tour of the Mekong Delta. My friends Nic and Meg (there are pictures of them here back in August, I believe) moved out here in the summer and I'm hoping to see them on the 20th - right now they're in Laos and heading up to the North on the 21st to meet Meg's folks.
The place we're staying gives us an hour of free internet access each day and I've finally been able to get onto blogger which has been a right bitch lately and not co-operative in most of the cheap internet cafes I tried in Thailand.
Anyway, I will post more trip details with pictures when we return to Taiwan!

Alive and in a warm place.
I tried to post here last week, but my computer wasn't being co-operative, and then blogger itself wasn't being co-operative. So anyway, I've been in Thailand since Saturday, Feb. 3rd and Olivier and I are currently relaxing on the island of Koh Tao. I was here before to do my scuba training, but that ended up taking up most of my time, so it's really great to be here now and just laze around on the beach and drink coconut shakes and Singha. Tomorrow we're planning on heading for Krabi and then Saigon on the 16th. Or around there. I think. Not a lot of planning on this vacation.
Will write again soon. Have important lounging to do.
