Teaching English in Taiwan!

Portlands own and PBC repper Seyi Sosanya has make a big move to go to Taiwan for a year and teach English to kids. These are the first two messages from him and there are some pictures of the local skatepark as well. If you want to contact Seyi, track down his myspace and send him some love.

"I have arrived in Taipei. My initial thought driving through the city
was that this place is like a mixture of New York, Mexico, and Hawaii. I will be here in Taiwan for one year teaching English to young children. This year is going to be very interesting to say the least. My goal is to get the language down to the point that I can come back and make my way around fairy easy. The trains are so much cleaner then New York but the train system is not as big so you can find your way around pretty easily.

I met a few friends for my birthday, it was chill we had a few beers and talked, these were people from Taiwan so it was cool because they knew the city. I really don't have much to say yet because I am just been attending training every day (8:30 – 7). I must say, the night markets are DOPE!

I really want to stay in contact with all of you so I don't get too home sick, even if you just write me a few sentences, I would like to have the contact! I will write you all really soon!

You all stay up and get back at me!"-Seyi

"As you may know I have been in Taiwan for the last week. I am teaching English here for a year. I thought you all would like to peep the park.

This park meeds some love, but it is far from dead. All the frames are metal, so all the city needs to do is resurface the ramps. You know I do it PBC style so it's all good with me! When you all come to see me we will kill the street spots and the park, cats here love BMX!

I am starting to make friends with the locals. I will send you more pics of street rides and cool stuff I come across.

Halla at ya boi!"-Seyi
