We're here!!!

Saturday afternoon:
We have all arrived with out any problems whatsoever. The flight was almost exactly 24 hours from door to door, many Sudokus and three very pitiful movies, which I (Chuck) didn’t even bother with. We spent the night in the dormitory of Chung Yuan University and grabbed breakfast at a dive we frequented last year. We have reunited with our other team members, Andrew and Gina, and are currently en route to Kaohsiung by train as I write. We will meet up with our Taiwanese coworkers tonight to begin the long process of skit rehearsals, grounds preparation and curriculum review. The first week of camp is in a new location so the local church and Taiwanese coworkers are going to be doing this for the first time. Fortunately we have almost two full days to get ready. Current temperature: 85°F, humidity: 70, not too bad.

Saturday night:
Our coworkers met us at the train station and whisk us off through the streets of Kaohsiung on a ride that could be compared with the bumper cars at the state fair, sans the bumps. It could be said that these are some of the most skilled drivers in the world; however the trip is not for the faint hearted. We’ve been busy every since getting to know each others names and roles as camp counselors and leaders. The expatriate team is suffering from a bit of jet lag and we’re going to try to get to bed before 11pm.
