July 12, 2009

Hi everyone! Just got back from a amazing village near Hualien working with the tribal children there. It was great being able to teach and play with these kids for an entire week. Many come from broken, alchoholic homes and this this summer programme is a place of refuge where they can learn about their Turuku culture. We made it back to Duanshui today though so we will be able to make our flight to China early tomorrow morning.

On our way to Hualien we were waiting for the train at on side of the station with about 20 or so other people. The train station guy went up to one of the people waiting with us then almost imediatly begain screaming in his face, then at all of us. By then we could hear a bell ringing, signeling the train was ready to leave, however, the train was on the other side of the station. So we ran as fast as we could to the other side adn caught the train. KAtie was laughing histarically the entire time we were running. It was a good time.
The kids of the village gave me the tribal name Bunga (boon-ya) which means sweet potatoe. I love sweet potatoes.
So I'm looking really cool right now with my taped up glasses. I broke them in December and have been gluing them, but I have no super glue here so tape will have to do for the moment. Have no fear though, I have contacts with me as well so I can look stylish everywhere I go in China.
The food has still been amazing. We had lots of pumpkin in the village and that was really great. Oh and by the way, squid pizza. Try it, love it.
Thats about it for now!
