Reading of My Site (Seday in Tawian)

I have now received multiple emails about my website and blog.  I am very pleased that people are viewing it.  The restaurant section seems to be receiving much notice. Had a few people write about grammical errors, slip ups and such. However, after checking I see the restaurant slogans have caused most of the mishaps. I corrected these errors where I found them.  Here are two items someone pointed out:

 

About Papa Giovanni: 

'"We are Italian and know how to make Italian food." Nothing can be further from the truth. '
Comment: This sounds like you are saying they make horrible Italian food, but I think your review says they are great?

Response: This is the restaurant’s slogan or at least what is in their ads. They are just saying that they make authentic Italian food.  They nor I am saying their food is horrible.  As a matter of fact I rate them as one of the best.

 

About Ding Tai Feng:

Comment: 'People will tell you these are the best and others will tell you these are the best ever! '
-This sentence has 2 of the same opinions, but is stated as if they are different opinions of the restaurant...

Response: You are correct. These are two opinions and stated as different opinions. Some people say they make the best dumplings in Taipei.  Some say they make the best ever!.  I just shortened it in the sentence you are reading above.

 

Someone also made a good comment on my hives writing. Just glad it is over and hope none of you get it. Now I need to deal with a stupid sty.  It is never ending here.

Computer Crash Knocked Me Out

Not the first time a hard drive has quit on me. Luckly, I do back up. So I only lost 2 weeks of email and about 1 hour worth of web updates. I do wish I could have uploaded the updates. I had entered about 7 new restaurants. Now I will have to go back and rewrite them. Problem is I don’t remember my user name and password for my FTP. So I am waiting for my provider to help me out. Pretty stupid backing everything up except your passwords.

Last few weeks have been pretty busy (and ‘yes’ I do not have full time job yet). It is strange how you can be busy when your not even working. I have had interviews, but lost the jobs due to my experience. Maybe I need to dumb down my resume. I did get a part time job twice a week teaching adults English conversation. It is very fun, but not what I am looking to do for a living. Still looking for a job that can utilize me. I have rumors a job may be available for me soon. I keep my fingers crossed. In the meantime I will look for a summer teaching position here.

Been traveling on the weekend with Esther and Jasper. Been exploring nearby mountains and the natural beauty they offer. Went in the mountain in Wulai to visit a camping resort. Maybe resort is not the right word. But Jasper had fun playing with a frog and crab in the pool. From there we visited the city of Wulai. Did not see the famous Wulai Waterfall, due to the train being under repair and Jasper throwing up in the car. Guess he drank too much pearl-tea-milk and the mountain driving did him in. Two weekends ago I traveled with Jasper and his school (Esther had to work) to the “Golden Egg” chicken farm. I forgot the mountain name, but that is okay, because it seems that none of the Taiwanese knew the mountain name either. Jasper played with little chicks, saw way too many hens, and visited some sickly looking ostrichs. He had fun with the arts and crafts they offer. You get to paint eggs plus you get to play in clay-like-mud to make 100-year eggs. If you like egg art you should go or if you have little children. Otherwise the Golden-Egg will disappoint.
