One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friends and I had organized an amateur children's theater when we were in university.
We wrote the play, made the props and costumes all by ourself. Then we toured around the elementary schools in remote areas in Hwalien, Eastern Taiwan.
That definitely is the most worthwhile and unforgetable thing I've ever done in my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I'm a teacher, I'm quite happy to teach you Chinese.
I'd like to learn or share anything I'm interested in, cooking, language, photography, music, handmade crafts....

I've been collecting children's book from all over the world, it'll be awesome if you pick one of your language and tell me the story!
