Life in Taiwan

By: Andrea Phillips

“We will now be leaving Dallas , Texas to Tainan , Taiwan ” said the radio voice. My last time to see daddy was now or in 2 months. I gave daddy a big hug before I left to Taiwan . My dad had corral blue eyes, his smile reminds me of everything, his personality was always fun and he wasn’t going to see me for 2 months because mama was dropping me off to Taiwan and also picking me up to Dallas, Texas. After I gave daddy one last hug he was gone jus like that. My mom and I had to go to our flight before it was gone. We made it just in time my mom has beautiful brown hazel eyes, and her smile was very beautiful. She was the last person I would see last before my 2 months in Taiwan . The flight was quite nice for 21 hours. After the flight we finally got off and saw my Aunt and Uncle at the airport, but just like that my mom was gone and I don’t know very much Chinese so I don’t know half the words my Aunt and Uncle would say. My Uncle has a very big body and he only knows Chinese so I think his personality is fair. My Aunt is a very regular sized person her personality is also nice and fair. My Aunt and Uncle are like my parents in Taiwan because they take me to their house and whole my real mom and dad aren’t around they’re just like them. My life in Taiwan is very difficult, but I still know my Chinese. Everyday my Aunt gets dinner and my uncle would also get the breakfast and lunch. At school, I always have to go to the kindergarten section because I can’t understand what the teachers are saying in the higher grades so I have to go to the kindergarten class and then I can understand it. After school, my Uncle picked me up because my Aunt is working at that time. After 2 months my mom comes and she stays here for 1 week and then we go back to Dallas because I would miss my Aunt and Uncle. But I have to go back to the home where I belong. We got to the plane and again waited on it for 21 hours. It was the same plane we had when I was going to Taiwan . After 21 hours we saw daddy at the airport, and I hugged him as tight as I possibly could.
