(Below are some photos of the lake. I had wanted to include these in a slideshow for the sake of room, but apparently I'm not that technologically skilled).

Building right next to lake.
Every few days or so, the road that leads to our apartment is dedicated to a morning market. Though not as large as the night markets (which take place every Saturday here), it is still a feast for the senses.

Like Wal-Mart is to Americans, the Carrefour is to the Taiwanese (and the 2 Americans who will be residing in Taiwan for 4 months). I snuck my camera into the Carrefour and was able to snap off a few photos before one of the employees kindly gestured that cameras weren't allowed.
Yes, even in Taiwan the golden arch glows brightly.
I could be wrong, but I believe the stuff the middle may be kimchi.
A big mound of candy. Believe me, it was more impressive in person.
I had never seen green doughtnuts before.
We've visited the college we will be teaching at quite a few times since our arrival. Actually, it's where we obtain our free water supply. Since the tap water here in not drinkable, the campus has a few machines in each building that boil the tap water. Each machine offers two spouts -- one for hot water (about 100 degrees Celsius) and one for cooler water (at about 30-40 degrees Celsius).
Front entrance to the Nan-Jeon Institute of Technology.
The next photos are a random assortment.
This was taken at the Sinying stadium (mentioned in our previous post).
Also in Sinying.
This photo and the ones that follow are of flowers/plants in front of our apartment building.
Well, that's all for this post. Since Jake is long overdue, he'll most likely be writing the next blog.
