My first danban ke teacher

Two of my favorite teachers at ICLP

Me and Nicole, who is a student of NTU and will be studying at Waseda Univ in Tokyo as an exchange student from April 2004. She found my apartment before I came to Taipei, and introduced the part-time teaching job to me. A very very nice girl, and she's very fluent in Japanese.

Xechiong, a history student at National Taiwan Normal University. He is funny. My radical Green (DPP) friend.

My Japanese buddy, Rumi-san, from Kagoshima.

Sweet sweet Dasa & Eric

Amazing people. I cannot describe them in a few words.

Taylor, a Korean girl from the US. I wish I could see her at school more often.

Ben. A good friend from school. Spends a lot of "coffee & study" time at the Mao cafe with me.

Jennifer and Ariel. Both are Taiwanese but Jennifer is from the US, also studying Chinese at ICLP.

Terry (or Nian-ci), my brilliant classmate

Kenny or Ken-chan at the Student Lounge

Erik from Minnesota

Brian (also from Minnesota) at Spin
