Sometimes it happens...

I met a beautiful, intelligent Taiwanese girl named Fanfan when I was studying in Angers, France in 2004. That summer, I went back to the US to finish my last year of college, and she moved to Paris. Things blossomed, and a year later I moved to Paris to be with her. I studied philosophy, and she studied cultural mediation. After a year had passed and all of our money had run out, we moved to Taiwan. Fanfan worked as writer, teacher and French-Chinese translator. I taught English, worked as a freelance journalist and studied Mandarin. On the side, I study Chinese and Taiwanese history on my own, which is why I maintain this site, because the interaction it provides gives me a better understanding of these subjects as a whole. To be clear, I am not a professional, and I welcome comments and criticisms ....Oh, and I know I'm not the ONLY redhead in Taiwan, and I know that's a stupid name for a blog. This was meant to be a way for my family and friends to keep up with what I was doing, but it became much more....In the summer of 2009, we'll be moving to D.C., as I'll beginning a Master's in International Relations.
