life update, getting the hang of this

so now I have a second job teaching 12 year olds at a place called happy top.  confirmed as of today. not a lot, just 6 hours a week.  but still, it’ll be worth about 4 days worth of living money per week, rent included.  every little bit helps.

one of the things it will help is fund my new chinese class, which I’m apparently taking for 10 hours per week for only 150 bucks per month.  less than 3.50 an hour.

not. bad.

pingtung pt 3



alright. so we’re on our way to waterfall 3.
there’s a path running along the river that lets you get back there, but it collapsed a little bit ago apparently. which means we get to walk up the river. there are a lot of rocks and things, so theoretically it’s possible to do it without getting wet. forget that though, I take off my shoes and leave them hidden between a couple rocks.
eventually, we make it to the waterfall. it’s reeeeally big. we take some pictures, and there’s even a place where you can go under it! it’s pretty amazing, not gonna lie. pictures!

so on to waterfall number two.
it’s smaller, but it does have rocks you can jump off of!

we played around for about half an hour, i almost died falling off a rock onto other rocks, overall, lots of fun. we go back, clean up, get ready for dinner.

overall, pretty great trip. later there was dinner and a bar and some other people and new friends and it was good. but these are the highlights.
