Where from in Michigan? I’m from Metamora … tiny town close to the huge metropolis (grin) of Lapeer in the Thumb.

The Neihu School is great. It is one of only two (not sure if the second was even built) post-921 school reconstruction contracts earmarked for wood construction (remainder done in concrete). It was finished about 3 years ago (?) The designer/architect works out of Fengyuan in Taichung County and used to represent the US forestry industry in Taiwan. He used treated Southern Yellow Pine for pretty much all of the framing, but the design is quite unique … 2×4 construction that imitates a post and beam style, with both Japanese and Chinese/Taiwanese accents throughout. A wonderfully green campus as well.

During school holidays the school grounds are let out to buxibans for English summer camps. Last time we passed by there was a group of English teachers from Xindian holding a retreat in preparation for a summer camp.
