I was waiting in line in the cafeteria when the fourth grade teacher approached me and asked if I danced. I told her that I had taken lessons when I was little. She then asked if I would choreograph the Christmas musical. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised. I reiterated the fact that I hadn't danced in a long time, but she responded with the fact that she's never taken dance lessons and she's been doing the school choreography for the last few years. Finally, I acquiesced to her request. "I knew you looked like a dancer," was her satisfied response.
Apparently, Taiwan can make you a lot of things you're not: a choreographer, a biker chic, a first grade teacher. I feel like I'm living in a world of make-believe where every step is not my own. This attitude, however, does make me feel more confident. After all, if something goes wrong, it's just a glitch with the role. I really think I would be willing to try just about anything, at least, while I'm living in a foreign country.
