I haven't had that one yet. A whole bunch of students thought I looked like Mr Bean though, if anyone in Taiwan calls you 'dodo shenzen' they think you're Rowan Atkinson! Apparently here there's a teddy bear version for the kids and he has a teddy bear on his shoulder or something. I've got some posts lined up going into more detail about the work process. At the moment I'm focusing on a backlog of Taiwan posts from when I didn't have the internet. I'll get them all out eventually. lol backstreet boys.. I haven’t had that one yet.
