I’m here at Taipei 101—in Taipei, of course—where else would it be? But it’s Christmas time again, it’s December 16th. It’s pretty warm here, but, there’s no snow—there is plenty of shopping, so, uh, it doesn’t have exactly the same feel of Christmas as I have back in Pittsburgh.
But it’s nice because there is al this shopping here, and the people are very friendly. That’s the key to it. So, they’re very accepting of our holidays—as we also have to adjust to their holidays.
It’s not the same as being in Pittsburgh, but it’s not bad.
(Christmas tree) Taipei 101 and it’s kind of nice—the people like it. They like to take their picture in front of it—so I guess they’re a lot like everybody back home.
Well, here is the food court inside Taipei 101, down in B1.
Well, I do see one Christmas tree here in inside the mall at Taipei 101. But I don’t see any other Christmas decorations.
Well, I just spoke about no Christmas decorations—and they do have this light display, and then there’s a Christmas tree way up there at the top. But I don’t know if I see Santa Claus anywhere. We need to go down there to information and ask where Santa Claus is.
Well, they do have some Christmas singing here at Taipei 101. But they do have some Christmas singing here at Taipei 101. It is in Chinese.
Well, they do have Santa Claus here at Taipei 101. I wasn’t sure about that.
So that’s it, Christmas here in Taipei. There’s good and bad. I miss my family, I miss the snow. But I don’t miss all the heavy food that adds on ten pounds, and I don’t miss all the excessive drinking that goes on for 3 weeks. So, it’s whatever you wanna make of it. No matter where you are, Christmas is always up here and in here.
Take care!

Hi Bill,
Merry Christmas! Does it usually snow during the holiday in Pittsburgh? The temperature right now (at night) in LA is about 51 degree. Though we don't have white Christmas here, but the chilly weather does make it feel like Christmas.
Thank you for sharing your life experience with us. God bless you.

Hi Bill,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year~ I miss the Christmas decoration in LA. There is one street where each house is decorated and competes with each other. I also can see the boat decorated with light there. It is so beautiful. Although it is cold, I feel warm. You can see many people who bundle up there. Very interesting~
I go to the Studio Classroom Rally and enjoy the show. I like the singing and the magic show. It is so great. Thanks for your hard work. The film is so touched, too. The woman and man sacrifice the precious thing to exchange the Christmas gift with each other.
I also take picture with you. I put it into my blog. You can visit it.
Thank you very much and May you have a wonderful fruit next year.

Hi Joyful Jennifer and Cynthia!
Good to hear from you. Yes, Jennifer, it usually does snow in Pittsburgh for Christmas--very beautiful. But you do have lots of Christmas decorations there in L.A.
I'm glad you could make it to the Rally, Cynthia! It's a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun too, especially meeting all of our students and listeners.
Thanks for your kind words Jennifer and Cynthia! Happy New Year!
Bill
