Another student of mine whom I have begun tutoring on Skype about this time last year in September is finally visiting Taiwan! :) It's a pleasure to have finally met Derrick in person. I took him to the night market, try out the best beef noodle in town and Taiwanese deep fried snacks! Yummy~~~
Derrick agreed to be in an interview on what it is like to have private Mandarin lessons from Peggy. :*)

Friday, August 27, 2010 at 2:16PM Midnight, I dragged my tired body home from a day of filming outdoor under the sun and the heat. We filmed in Danshui today, a tourists’ hot spot in Taipei which is about an hour and 30 minutes away from where I live. I felt so beat! I needed a hot shower! On my way home on the train, I had a thought.

The video is a brief introduction on Taiwan Ghost Month/The Chungyuan Festival. Enjoy a little a piece of Taiwanese Cultural event! ;)
The Chungyuan Festival(中元節) falls on July 15th of the lunar calendar. On this day, you get to see an inevitable scene throughout the household, family and business owners set up a table on which covered with offerings to homeless spirits(aka 好兄弟/hao3xiong1di4 - good brothers ) for them to fulfill their stomach.
The first of July lunar month is scheduled to be the day the door of the underworld is open for spirits to come out and the door will be close, in other words, the ghosts will return on 29th of July on the lunar calendar. Throughout this whole month, which is also called "The Ghost Month", it's also widely believed to avoid outdoor activities for the sake of one's own safety and the possible risk of scapegoating for other spirits.
I thought it would be interesting for you all to see what is happening on this island, Taiwan. :)
