Welcome to Taiwan, Matisse and Christina!

Welcome to Taiwan, Matisse and Christina!
Welcome to St. James' Episcopal Church, in Taichung!

This evening Jean and I, as we had also been invited, came to Pin Hong Qiao (品虹橋--滬川料理) on Wuquan W-3rd Street, Taichung City, to meet two English teachers who had just arrived at St. James -- that is, Matisse and Christina.

Matisse and Christina came from Boston, the capital and largest city of the state of Massachusetts, in the US. And, from now on, they will stay in central Taiwan for about two months. They will be experiencing "the life in Ilha Formosa" -- Ilha Formosa meaning "beautiful island" in Portuguese -- by spending days and nights with us, by joining in the summer camp and learning Chinese at St. James, and by visiting as many scenic spots as they can, during their stay here in Taiwan.

Well, I'll be their Mandarin teacher in July (and August?). I'll do my best to teach, hoping that my teaching will be helpful to them, to some degree!
