{Foreigner in Formosa} Lee’s Restaurant

May 5, 2014May 31, 2014 ~ christeljayne ~ 1 Comment

It's funny how distance and travel time are relative. I used to think that driving from KY to NJ and back during a four-day weekend wasn't so bad (only twelve hours each way), but now the thought of going four and a half hours to Kenting seems like a looooong trip. Maybe it's because Taiwan is so much … Continue reading {Foreigner in Formosa} Lee’s Restaurant

Taking a Break

This week, I took some time off of work, and my youngest sister, Ashleigh, came to visit me for three days.

There are two particular food favorites that we've come across within a block from our apartment, and I'd like to share them with you now. Dan Bing Breakfast Shop Dan bing (蛋餅) … Continue reading {Foreigner in Formosa} Two Local Gems

{Foreigner in Formosa} Green Tea is Everywhere

April 11, 2013April 13, 2013 ~ christeljayne ~ 2 Comments

All I have to say is: I bet you don't have green tea flavored waffle bowls at the Cold Stone Creamery in your area. Well, I do. And here's a green tea Kit Kat bar! There are many varieties of green tea drinks in Taiwan (of course), there are green tea shaved ice treats, and many candies … Continue reading {Foreigner in Formosa} Green Tea is Everywhere

A Bit About Me

I am a Christ-follower, a daughter, a wife, a sister, and a mother. I am a lover of literature and writing. I find refreshment in creating art and in making music. I am a world traveler, and though I call the U.S. home, a big chunk of my heart is in Taiwan.
