Despite having gone into exile, inadvertently allowing this blog to reach the brink of extinction, I will soon be posting more frequently so you can all share in the events of my life. I promise to stray away from my failed attempts at pure journalism and will also be posting videos, random thoughts, and much needed updates. Stay tuned...
With my year in Taiwan coming to a close, I have decided to try and document some of the moments that have come to shape my experience here. Unfortunately I will be leaving my students, my girlfriend, my friends, and my Chinese behind me as I head back to America for graduate school and the world beyond.
The robot dance I have been using for exercise time at the kindergarten has evolved from simple vertical movements of the arms to coordinated head jerks and spins. From its inception "doing the robot" has come to shape my identity as an English teacher. If only I had known the ripple effect of introducing the robot dance to the masses of children at Fong Yuan Kindergarten. "Teacher Robot" has become a household name. As a tribute to robots and humans alike, I have posted a video of my last exercise time in Taiwan. The blips and blops will go down in history as a testament to the symbiotic relationship between humans and their machine offspring. Enjoy.
