Monday was Lillia’s first day at the Happy Bambi Children’s School, a short walk from Yen-Wen’s parents’ house. The teachers all seem really nice, and Lillia is in Emily’s class. It’s too bad that she’ll probably only be at the school for a week. It’s really a great deal. Even after paying for the insurance, and buying the regulation backpack and lunch set, it was still only $130 for the week, and she’s spending a good 7-8 hours a day there.
After the first day, I asked her if she’d made any new friends, and she said, “no, only Emily”. She also denied learning anything new. Oh great, I thought. The whole point of bringing her to Taiwan was to improve her Chinese. But the second day, she told me, “I talked with some kids all in Chinese today!” And today she said the same thing, so maybe this will end up being a successful experiment after all.
