"My name is Staci and I will be living in Luju Township, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan from May 30 to August 12, 2008. I am participating in a cultural exchange program between my school (Kentucky State University) and Shu Zen College of Medicine and Management in Taiwan. I wanted a place to record my adventures in Taiwan and a way to share those adventures with friends and family, so discoverynarrative.wordpress.com was born."
