2 down 1 to go

Two months are finished, with one month left to go here in Taiwan. It has been an amazing experience so far, and I've learned a hell of a lot...I've also realized how difficult it is to learn to speak and read Chinese. After three months, I will be able to speak a bit of Chinese, but that is nothing compared to what it takes to be fluent in a language. It's an amazing language and culture, I just wish I was younger and had more time to learn and experience it. My experience reminds me of the George Bernard Shaw quote, "It's a shame that youth is wasted on the young."

Here's something cool I learned in class today:

Jimmy = 吉米 (ji mi)

Guitar = 吉他 (ji ta)



Pretty cool, the first character of my name is the same first character of guitar. You learn something new every day.
