"Settling in....."

People of my circle...

Well, I would like to say hi to all of you and let you know that I am doing wonderful! I have been in Taichung for about six weeks now and am enjoying it greatly. Instead of letting you know everything that I have done since my arrival, I will put some pictures in every few days to let you see what is happening. The average temp is about 37 celcius and humid......some day on the clothes....rains every now and then, thunder and lightning is heavy, and I felt my first earthquake tremmor the other night.....exciting times...

As for today, I will just let you know that I am settling into my apartment very well. I have three great female roomies, (one from chicago, another from minnesota, and the other from st. john's). I am on the 19th floor of an apartment building.....some pics are in this and the other two postings below. More pics of my life will come as time goes by....hopefully I will be on my own laptop soon and not have to borrow my roomate's. Either way, enjoy the pics and have a super day......jonathan
