50cc Scooter 7000NT OBO

Martin101 — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:40:49 +0800

This scooter has been great for getting around the city, it's little and easy to move and pick up if you are not very strong. I'm looking to sell it for 7000 NT or best offer. I don't have much time left to sell it so I am up for negotiating. The insurance is good for another year. It's a 50cc scooter, great for a female.
This scooter is in excellent condition. I bought it last June and since then I put a new tire on it, cleaned up the engine, put in a new gas cap, and starter and it had a check up/oil change recently. It's got a basket as well.

Hello friendly people of Kaohsiung. I’m Pj from Belgium (the chocolate country ^_^) and will be in your city from 10/07 until 20/07.

If you are passionate about travelling, doing sports, meeting people, technology, languages, entrepreneurship and so much more -> feel free to email me at pjmuller@gmail.com. Belgian people are known to be kind and hospitable, I’ll do my very best to keep that reputation up ;). Who knows.. I might even have some chocolate for you ;p.

8 yrs Taiwan experience, US Virgina teaching certificate, TESL certificate, master's in education

DRN — Sat, 18 May 2013 13:00:44 +0800

My Taiwanese wife and I will be moving back to Kaohsiung this summer. I am looking for full time work preferably during the day in a school environment, but at this point, I am becoming more flexible.

I have been living and teaching in Taiwan for 8 years, carry my own ARC, have a USA teacher's license, TESL certification, and a Master's of Teaching degree from an accredited university on the Taiwan MOE's approved list.

I have experience teaching with all age groups in ESL, Bi-Lingual multi-subject, and English homeroom environments. I have worked for the the Ministry of Education, private cram schools and for the past year in a private bi-lingual school in Taipei.

Because of where my in-laws live, desires of my wife (she's originally from Kaohsiung) and a desperation to get away from Taipei's depressing weather, we will be relocating at the end of June.

I would appreciate any feed back from possible employers or those with suggestions on where to find work.

I can be reached here on the forums, or by e-mail. drschplatt (at) gmail (dot) com.

Spanish Group

kickerjean — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:14:51 +0800

Hi! My Spanish has been getting rusty for the last three years since I've been in Asia and I would really like to have a chance to brush up. I was wondering if some sort of Spanish conversation group exists and if not, if anyone would be interested in starting one. The image I have in my mind is of meeting once a week somewhere for dinner and/or a drink and simply conversing in Spanish (nothing too formal). Please let me know of anything that has already been organized or if you are interested in creating a group with both native and non-native Spanish speakers.

Thanks,

Kailey

Where can I get high quality photo prints done? I'm moving back to the States soon and I'd like to get some art prints done as gifts to the people who helped me out here. I live in Lingya District but I have a scooter so getting around is not a problem (at least, not until I sell the scooter!).

Lighthouse Counselling Services

Lighthouse — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:12:21 +0800

Professional Confidential Counselling

Relationship Coaching

Personal Coaching

Disability counselling (Parents eg. Autism, ADD etc)

It can be hard to talk to friends and family sometimes, this is the reason private and impartial counseling can be so helpful. I consider it a privilege to be 'alongside' my clients as they make their journey through 'difficult times'

I have had 20 years of experience utilizing person-centred and cognitive-behavioural-therapy ( CBT ) counselling techniques. The service is absolutely confidential and sessions can be face to face or ONLINE (with prior notice and arrangement). I work intuitively, with a nonjudgmental and sympathetic approach. My deep-felt understanding of human nature goes beyond words or intellect.

Services include ‘Relationship Coaching’ for personal and professional relationships & ‘Personal coaching’ dealing with life’s problems, confidence, depression and negative thinking.

I can help you discover your true purpose and pursue your passion.

Every day we make choices that affect us. These choices may range from the profound to the trivial, each affecting that which makes our lives more or less fulfilling, balanced, or effective. Coaching helps us learn how to make choices that enhance our lives. I will help you uncover, explore and understand the feelings you experience in life helping you create a clearer future. We can explore management tools to cope with difficulties and changes.

You, the client, are the expert in your life; you know who you are and what you desire. You recognize what is absolutely best for you, even if you don’t realize it yet. I will coach you towards discovering what your personal "best" is and help you to find ‘yourself’.

Sessions last fifty minutes but I can be flexible to fit your schedule.

Records: Brief counselling notes are taken during and after each session. These are kept secure and in my possession.

Confidentiality: As a practitioner I maintain professional standards and offer all clients assurance of confidentiality. Whatever a client says will not normally be passed on to anyone else, unless the client agrees.

For sale - 3 bikes - $500 each

wingedtoad — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:56:58 +0800

I don't know too much about bikes. All I know is that these have been at my apartment since before we moved in, and now that we're moving out, we have to get rid of them. I also know that two of the bikes may have been sitting so long that the inner tubes might not be working properly anymore. Two of the bikes have locks on them but we don't know where the keys are.

We have ridden bikes 1 and 2 before, the brakes and gears work fine.

Free helmet for the first person to call a bike!

$500 each bike

Looking to join a playgroup/or to start one maybe?

Abee — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 01:18:28 +0800

Born in Taiwan, raised in Brisbane, Australia.
Moved to Kaohsiung a few years ago to be closer to my husband's family and now am totally kicking myself that I didn't come across this forum earlier.
:(
All these years, I have tried very hard to immerse myself in the Taiwanese culture so I can become more fluent in Chinese and 'fit' in here..now that it's much better I think my English has gone a bit rusty. (miss home heaps)
Recently, just had a baby last Oct and am looking to join a playgroup with mothers of young children (sort of like MOPS）
Would love to meet up with other mothers and exchange experiences (am currently feeling somewhat isolated being a stay at home mum)
I live in the Sanmin district but don't mind traveling to other areas as well.
