Summer Camp is Over 8.30



For the past week, my internet has been on the blink and I haven't had much to write about anyways. I spent 3 days in Hsinchu, about 20 minutes on the High Speed Rail away, for training. There were a few great trainers who got everyone participating, working in some groups with each other and trying to do something artistic. But there were another few speakers who just liked the sound of their own voice, so they were very boring and made me want to stand up and yell that they were.



I forgot though that last Sunday was great. I met up with Vivienne and Christine again and we first went to a concert at Chiang Mi Shek Memorial Hall and then had some tofu at a nearby place. We went to Ximen again, a great area. Actually the week went by pretty quick and it seems to be getting cooler as well.
I took the opportunity of one of the boring speakers this past week to try and learn some Chinese useful phrases and even how to write my name in Chinese. It's a pretty cool looking language or character system, whatever way you look at. Much more cool looking than Korean.:) Another thing I like about some of the Taiwanese people is the way they are much more open minded to foreigners than Koreans were, in general.
