They visited Taiwan and five cities in Mainland China; they took 13 flights, went through 15 different airports, and stayed in 10 different places on their 26-day journey. Their primary purpose was to visit with their current online ESL students and their families, plus reach out to find new students to help. Along with the work, they had numerous adventures as well...listen along and join the adventure!Listen to this episode to hear a few overall reflections Scott makes about visiting Taiwan this time, in light of his having lived there from 1989-1999. Most of this episode lets you in on their visit to Guilin, the iconic and magical place in Southwest China with the almost-mythical karst peaks that jut out of the earth like huge dragon teeth. Word of the Day: iconic (adj.) That which refers to an icon; that which is famous, symbolic, or representative; widely-recognized as famousEx. The karst topography and peaks around Guilin and the Li River make some of China’s most iconic scenery.

Instead of telling yourself, “I could never go there,” instead ask yourself: “What could I do, or stop doing, to make it possible to visit that place?” Be creative and think big!Have a question or feedback?
