I am leaving Fort Smith, Arkansas in a few days! My thoughtful friends threw me amazing farewell parties (欢送会 huānsònghuì)! We had some of my best times in the U.S. Thank you! ❤ Thank you Fort Smith, Arkansas for all the good people and good memories.

As the end of the term approaches, we had our last Cultural Activity in Classroom episode today! Students learned about the Chinese traditional story of Cháng'é（嫦娥） and Hòu Yì（后羿）. We also discussed the most well-known poem, Jìng yè sī（静夜思）by Chinese poet, Li Bo（李白）. Next, they tried moon cakes, Chinese rice crackers along with Chinese green tea. :)

Taiwan did a successful job today at UAFS International Festival! Hundreds of people people came to challenage the pick-rice-with-chopsticks game for free prizes! Taiwan booth was PACKED!!! 今天的國際文化節台灣攤位擠爆了參加「筷子夾米競賽」的民眾！只要用筷子夾十粒生米即可獲獎唷！:D

There is an International Festival tomorrow at my host university! This year, with my presence, there is a Taiwan booth! It took me a long time to put this board together! There was a lot of researching, cutting and pasting. What do y'all think? :D Taiwan has prizes to give away! I wish you could stop by to play a chopstick-game to win one of these gifts. :)

We had a couple of Chinese calligraphy classes this week! I first introduced the vocabulary related to Chinese calligraphy and the well-known Four Treasures of the Study. Next, we practiced calligraphy and write three characters: 春 Spring，福 Fortune，蛇 Snake. I invited Professor Zhang to this class to present his amazing calligraphy skills. :)

Making Lanterns for Chinese Lantern Festival, I love my students! 元宵动手作灯笼～这班学生们乖巧可爱！:)

I introduced Chinese culture and art, Papercutting (剪紙 jiǎn zhǐ), to my class today. Since Chinese New Year is coming, we made the word "春 Chūn - Spring". :)

有榮邀請駐休士頓臺北經濟文化辦事處處長廖東周大使至本校演講，演講內容為兩岸關係與台美關係及三方未來合作動向。廖處長幽默的演講風格觀眾們從中受益匪淺！Taiwan Ambassador Daniel Liao Visits University of Arkansas - Fort Smith! Ambassador Liao gives a speech on Taiwan, the U.S. and China relations. UAFS faculty and students learn so much more about the cross-strait relations and how much Taiwan is able to come to its stage today with the help of the U.S. I am one of the speech coordinator of this event. I wish you could all join this event with me!

Fulbright FLTA Conference in Washington D.C. from December 12th - 16th. 388 FTAs from 50 countries all over the world are teaching 32 different languages in 219 colleges and universities!

All the pictures of my teachings here in the U.S. are collected in this album! I teach university students Chinese and Chinese culture. I also visit local schools to talk about Taiwan. Be sure to check it out!

Here are some pictures of a hiking club I participate in here in Arkansas. We hike every Saturday for several miles. That's how I stay in shape!

I am so lucky to be here in the U.S. and observe people's opinion during the election! Now let's learn some important terms in Politics in Chinese!

Every chance I get, I talk about Taiwan and my culture with people here in the United States. I wave that flag up and high. I want the world to recognize the existence of Taiwan R.O.C. Patriotic Peggy Lee is in the house! lol.

My first Halloween ever! I had fun time getting dressed up, filming, interviewing students and oh, carving my first pumpkin!

I have been tutoring an Italian tenor for quite a long time. He lives in Tokyo and finally visits Taiwan. We had so much fun!

Hey mama! My mother still looks so beautiful. I love my mom.

I took a trip with my Taiwanese students. I teach them English at a language institute in Taiwan. I really miss them!

Beautiful natural aspect of Taiwan! Soon Moon Lake video coming soon.

Oh well, just too good at this game! lol. :D
