Hi Arthur,
Glad to hear from u again, so u are in Taipei? Plan to go to Chengdu again? You wrote "when I finish my current case", I hope you do not have a legal 'case'. New school year began here in September, are u going to teach again? If I move to or stay for a while in Taiwan, I'd love to find a place to teach English - conversation and/or writing, even for nothing. But, even in retirement, it is hard to move, especially to move across the Pacific ocean.
You are always welcome to discuss language related matters w/me - send it to my email address.
Frank p.s. sorry, I couldn't find your email address, would u tell me again?
