So there is a meme bouncing around the blogosphere right now and its running through a real estate thread. It was sent to the Johnson Team by Beau Betts from Seatle and since I am the main writer for the blog, I get to do this.

What is a meme you might be asking? See wikipedia to find out.

I’m supposed to tell you 5 things that you probably do not know about me, so here it goes.

1. I am bilingual. When I was 3 years old I started attending a French pre-school and from there went on to do a French immersion program who Kindergarten through Grade 7. I also know enough Spanish and Chinese to get by.

2. I lived in Taiwan for 14 months. About a year after I graduated from university, I was bored with my job so I took a position in Kaohsiung, Taiwan as an English Teacher with Hess Educational Organization. I had never been to Asia before, and within 5 weeks I picked up my life, sold/stored everything and moved to Taiwan by myself, without knowing a soul there. While I was there I taught kindergarten (the most adorable 3 years olds in all of Taiwan!) as well as cram school in the evenings. I also did every extra under the sun including becoming a manager, directing a play, coaching a speech competition, judging various English competitions and being a camp counselor.

3. I skipped a grade in elementary school (I did Grade 6 & 7 in the same year).

4. I am the first generation of my family to be born in North America. My mum (not a spelling mistake) was born in England and lived there until she was 12. My dad was born in Austria and lived there until he was in his late teens then headed off around the world. They finally met in Canada, where I was born and I now live in the US.

5. I am a horrible speller.

I am supposed to pass this on to 5 people, but instead of doing that, I will just invite the readers of this blog to do so. If you do it on your own blog, make sure you leave a comment on this post letting us know. If you don’t have a blog, you can write your 5 things in the comments.
