As you can imagine I have tons of pictures. This website does not have the best option for sharing those pictures. So I created this Tumblr: http://laurenseth.tumblr.com/ . I am not sure about the fate of this blog. I am able to write on the new one so I guess I'll see how it goes! I hope you keep following. Whoever you are.

It's almost been a full month of teaching! Wow, and it sure does make a difference! You have no idea. The good thing is I am only getting better : D Wake up: Late, not sure I should tell you w…

Charles Sutherland You would probably be interested to see the new 'Reality Novel' ("The Poison Planters") which exposes the GMO industry and its attacks on organic farming and sustainable agriculture. You can visit at: www.thepoisonplanters.com. Good luck in your endeavors and your farming. Charles Sutherland

Fernweh Hello J, I am not sure how to e-mail you on here because this website does not provide me with commenter's e-mail addresses. All Green was great to WWoof for. They have bunk beds (though they are a bit hard so take a sleeping pad with you if you can), eating vegetarian meals for lunch and dinner was very nice, the location is beautiful and the hosts are so nice! It's a great place to practice your Chinese if you happen to be learning (I was not) but they do speak English. I wrote a few blog posts about it too. Have fun!

Mom Sas Hey Lauren and Seth, did you go to Kending?

Oct 26, 2012 on the message board

Beth W're right here waiting for you to come back Sas!! And, as an interesting counterpoint, I still have my moments of being homesick (for NH and the people there) but I have many, many more moments of being homesick for my friends who leave to live all over the world. "Home" is such an abstract idea, and when the people I love most (like you) leave... it brings on a whole different kind of homesickness.

Karen Do not worry Lauren, you will do just fine back in English speaking world. I do think that it becomes something you get used too, not using your own language. Your dad still thinks in Spanish at times! We will see you soon! Mom

Karen Sas Lauren and Seth, we have pictures of this same spot but we were way up high on the cliff above you.

Aunt Rose Lauren, do you know if they have these lanterns for sale, and if so how much do they cost. Reason I am asking is I am on Ryan's senior all night party decorating committee and one of the halls is an oriental theme.

Verna O'Brien It sounds like you know your way around. How long do you get to stay this time? If you see Colton give him a big kiss and hug for me. Tell Seth, Sam and David hello and you can give them hugs and kisses also

mom bamboo shoots?

Jan 17, 2012 re: these are a staple in the taiwanese diet

Rose WOW you have a busy year. Looking forward to the wedding. I call Whole Foods Whole Paycheck, but it is worth it. I try to eat mostly organic, so let me know how the organic farming goes. I thought if I get layed off again, I was looking at doing something like that in Europe. Enjoy your stay with Seth in Taiwan and be safe. Love and Hugs
