...Sorry it's taken so long for me to see this!<br /><br />I know a lot of countries do the culture fair. But not all. <br /><br />And you can always have your parents send you whatever you need when you find out if you'll need it. <br /><br />I hope this helps!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344410069039583386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088760858014885818.post-15886589386948457162010-06-21T01:30:49.723-07:002010-06-21T01:30:49.723-07:00Hi Michelle!

Is this just a Taiwan thing? <br /><br />I love your idea for making your own pins! I think I might go down to our craft store and see what sort of things they have!Minun Nimeni on Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012812762750379169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088760858014885818.post-60988429176157932872010-06-10T07:04:46.606-07:002010-06-10T07:04:46.606-07:00It'll be a growing experience.

Obama would be very proud.<br /><br />And omg you got so many things for your host family!!! Are you trying to turn them into fat Americans with that much candy and American flags?? I'm sure they'll love all of it though. And I love the idea with the children's books for the 12 year old. It sounds like its going to be soooooooo much fun teaching her how to speak English, although I'm a little worried what her first words are going to be... "yes master; I enjoy it very much; please, I want more"...>.>Zacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088760858014885818.post-12422820879782274392010-06-09T18:22:40.903-07:002010-06-09T18:22:40.903-07:00"Also, I'm confused about the pin thing. ..."Also, I'm confused about the pin thing.

At first I didn't recognize you because you actually have some decent clothing on that wasn't put on half-assed at 5 in the morning preparing for school. And leave you're hair like that when you go to China, it looks really pretty. <br /><br />Also, I'm confused about the pin thing. Do you trade with other rotary students or with kids IN Taiwan. Also, why would they give you so many pins?? Were there really that many kids to trade with at the banquet? Last time you talked about it it only seemed like there were a handful of kids going abroad. However maybe those were just the kids that you didn't like ;P<br /><br />You need to tell me what you got them, especially your host mom. I keep imagining this "Xian Qing" type relationship with you and your host mother, which I'm sure is what will happen since you both seem so enthusiastic to meet each other. I just hope its not to hard to leave them once you have to change host families D: And if you decide to go host family shopping again, bring me >U<<br /><br />Just a few questions, do you know for sure when you're supposed to leave?? I keep thinking its sometime in August but idk if that's just me making that up or something you actually said >.> <br /><br />Anyways, if you ever actually come back to your AMERICAN school that you talked so highly of in your last entry, tell me more about the banquet ;P It didn't seem like you were too thrilled about it last time I talked to you.Zacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088760858014885818.post-15619360785088702362010-06-09T12:19:39.261-07:002010-06-09T12:19:39.261-07:00Very Nice introduction Michelle!

I hope some American companies will donate pins to you so you can disberse them with friends and overseas contacts. I look forward to more blog posts by you. This sounds like it will be a fascinating experience for us to follow.Momnoreply@blogger.com
