So, pretty much for various reasons this week at work was. A. living. Hell. Let's just say i'm learning patience here. Sometimes it's really REallY reALLY REALLY REallY haaarrrd for me to understand the culture here. I just don't understand the whole "save face" thing. Seriously our school director will tell me something that is from our secretaries, who found out through the parents of our kids, and want me to tell another one of the teachers, and then report back to her. Umm.... really? Lets learn efficiency here people. Dear parents, write in you communication book with our kids your problem.... please don't make it go through about 5 different people, and by then of which the story is so distorted and off no one understands what's really going on because half the translators barely know English. There is an easier way. This is just a glimpse of some of the chaos that went on this week. But, ok enough of the freakin pity party. Sometimes you've just gotta throw that off of your chest!
But really, i'm still in a love affair with Taiwan. This. Place. Is. To. Good. To. Be. True. I just needed to write my anger down somewhere!
