-12: My little (and big) rascals—bright & engaged, hilarious & energizing, sweet & welcoming—I’ll think of them endearingly and often. Human connection is the most life-impacting factor and after bonding with these people for a year, learning from each other, getting to know each other’s strong personalities, I know I will feel that impact forever.

-28: It’s good to be a kid in Taiwan
This baby Ferris wheel has been calling my name.
It’s facing giant restaurant windows lined with hot-pot diners keeping me from jumping on unnoticed—but—DAAAANG, the happy carnival song accompanied by slow circular movement up and around creates such a temptation, I work in vain on a valid excuse so to explain my near 6-foot frame perching on the tiny seat just once!
And so, their far superior storefront change-operated rides, plus, the apparent lack of a bedtime (judging from the children prancing at our feet in crowded night markets after 11 p.m.), makes me think it’s good to be a kid in Taiwan.
