Roger Gordon

Hello, my name is Roger Gordon. This is my website. I'll put things I make with my iPhone here. 
I'm from South Africa, and I teach English in Taichung City, Taiwan in order to study Chinese at a nearby University. I hope this website will help me to remember experiences and practice my Chinese.
您好,我的名字是高延清。這裡是我的網站。這裡要放用iPhone自己作的東西。我從南非來,在台灣的台中巿教英文並在附近的一間大學學中文。我希望藉由這個網站,能幫我紀錄所有的經驗,並且練習中文。

Hard - performing in front of a crowd of people
Harder - overcoming a disability to perform in front of a crowd of people
The Hardest - overcoming a disability to perform modern bboying in front of a crowd of people

Here's your inspiration for January. People like these are my heroes.

This guy has such a great voice. I believe this was a major hit in Japan in 2007. http://www.56.com/u25/v_MTk4NTQzOTg.html

Taiwan is getting more and more into the Christmas spirit with each passing year. Here is a bus driver in a Santa suit. Near Shilin MRT station.

I spotted this jacket on a guy waiting for a department store to open. I'm not sure how Americans would feel about this, but hey, it's on a jacket, so it must be true!

Trying on different clothes at 'Fifty Percent', and me trying a multiple exposure image. It's a little creepier than I had anticipated!

This old guy was demonstrating traditional Taiwanese toys to passersby in front of the National Museum of Fine Arts. He seemed kind of official, and was good fun to watch. I hope I'll have that much energy when I'm his age.

While having dinner the other night, I looked out the restaurant window and was surprised to see Em's face dimly visible among a multitude of soft colors, reflected from assorted LED signs on the street. The shot came out better than I expected!

I've wanted to take a decent photo of the skyline around my apartment for a while, because I've never been in a place which fits the term 'concrete jungle' more appropriately. There really is not a single bit of open space anywhere in sight for 270º standing on the roof of my apartment.
