Dear Friends,
This past weekend, the Fulbrighters and I ended up going to the Love River (Aihe), instead of going to Lotus Lake. There was apparently a heat wave that struck Kaohsiung and it was incredibly hot. So, our Fulbright group decided to sleep in and just take the bus to Love River.

You can find the corresponding photo album with this blog post, here. We took a love boat tour and then walked alongside the river. As we were walking by the river, we passed by a glassblower who was selling lots of cute artifacts.

Since I wanted to buy my friends in America gifts, I bought two glass phone charms that glow in the dark at this stand. Right when I was about to leave, the glassblower stops me and says he wants to make me a gift. The other Fulbrighters and I watched in awe as he made me this:

An Angel! It was a very nice gift and now I have a glass angel watching over me while I'm in Taiwan.
