Chinese name:  
  裴安琪  
Where are you from?  
  I come from a small country town in Washington State. My home is located on the Olympic Peninsula. I live about 15 minutes from the beach and about 30 minutes from the Olympic National Rain Forest. You can see deer, bears, cougars and bald eagles in this beautiful, natural environment.  
How long have you been in Taiwan?  
  I've been in Taiwan since 1986 — over 20 years! Wow! I'm suddenly feeling soooooo old!  
Describe your family.  
  My parents are retired now, so they have more time to do what they love: work in their garden, travel, and visit their kids and grandkids. My two older sisters are both married and have children, and they all live in Washington State.  
What do you do in your leisure time?  
  When I'm not teaching English, I like to relax with a good book, or go out for coffee and a good movie with my close friends. Playing with my three cats—Cali, Zack and Peng Peng—also brings me great joy! And when I have more time, I like to go to places like Hualien, Ilan or Kenting.  
If you were stranded on an island, what would you want to have with you:  
  Books: The Bible. I never get tired of reading it! Besides, it gives very detailed information about how to build a boat! :-)
People: My closest friends and my family
Pets: My cats: Cali, Zack and Peng Peng.
  
What's your favorite quote?
