Michael and I go to two different universities :) We were told that airlines release their international airfare prices about 3 months ahead of time, so for a late June or early July ticket we look online for the first big deals around mid-to-late March. I've found round-trip tickets to LA for $700, all the way to MI for $900. The normal going rate is $1100-$1500. The most helpful websites I've found include: www.sidestep.com/buzz www.bing.com/travel www.farecompare.com www.kayak.com Have fun searching and good luck! Emily Ivonne,

It's so amazing you found our blog. We'd be happy to tell you about how we settled and all that stuff. One thing you can do right off the bat is read our early posts from when we first arrived. Fortunately we had some friends in Taiwan when we arrived here and they were huge in helping us settle and take care of all the little things that come along with moving to a new place. Hopefully you have someone similar to that. What mission organization are you working with? Hi Jennie!

I'm a Christian and I've felt for ages God is calling me to East Asia and to learn Mandarin. He's led me on this crazy path, and next month I'll be moving to Taipei (Wanhua district) to intern with a mission group. Yeah, I'm pretty nervous. I'm really excited to see your blog - I randomly searched for some info on Taiwan and the only 2 pages I ended up looking at were 2 blogs by Christians living and studying in Taipei! God is good, and he obviously controls google. So I'd love to chat sometime. I know you must be busy, so I don't want to intrude on the busy-ness. I'm just really excited to find out there are other Christians doing awesome things for God and attempting the insanity that is Mandarin. I'm assuming since you run this blog you now have my email but if not, its jennifer.nicola@hotmail.co.uk. It would be so great to maybe just hear a bit about how you settled in and how you are doing. I'm in Thailand right now, visiting some friends old and new, then next month I'll be in Singapore, but I move November 21st. So good to read your blog.
