Wow, you had a full week! We missed you at Christmas, well I miss you all the time, but so thrilled to hear how much fun and support you have there. I hope even though it will be your holiday while I am there visiting to get to meet your friends and coworkers.

Yes, my principal and one or two of my friends and coworkers definitely want to meet you when you're in Kaohsiung. Hope you have a great end of 2023 Mom :)

Happy New Year Ryan! Thanks so much for your very entertaining and informative take on the excitement surrounding school life in Taiwan! My husband & I just arrived in Taichung and we are super excited to be here! Your videos of school life & life in general were a big help as we made the decision. We look forward to meeting you in Kaohsiung or let us know when you're coming to Taichung!

Glad to get to know you both and look forward to when our paths cross in person. Can't wait to hear how your adventure goes!! Happy New Year to you both! 🐉🐉🐉

Thank you for the updates Ryan! You have been a busy man indeed. December is a tough month for me for a lot of reasons I don't want to get into but I'm hanging in there. Really hoping the upcoming Year of the Dragon will see better days for me because this year was just continuous tumult. Happy New Year!

I hope the Dragon brings you some stability and good fortune my friend. Keep me posted and happy New Year!

This was such a nice update! Monica and I were having fun watching it just now. She says hi 👋 The sports day and festival looked awesome. I’m sorry you fell down. I hope you heal quickly. That’s too bad they have to modify the English songs at the karaoke bars. Good luck with the drama lol Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, bro 🎄✨ Sending lots of love 💕

Thank you! Hope you had a nice Christmas.

Thanks for the update Ryan. Cool to hear your adventures. Seems there is always some kind of drama at your schools. Wonder if that’s pretty normal teaching in Taiwan? I’m guessing it depends on the situations and certain personalities involved.

Hi Ben, yes I seem to be able to find drama no matter where I go. From my perspective, I think a certain amount of it is inescapable whenever you have different personalities cooped up in an office day in day out. Plus the vast majority of coworkers are women so there's always lots of gossip.

Yes, tell us more about the hot springs. How HOT was it!

Be careful of openly talking shit about China. They're only about 100 miles off the coast, and there could be a black bag with your name on it!
