Long time no write. There's been too much going on, so I'm going to have to cut and paste from sources.
Taiwan was a ton of fun! I stayed at my grandparents' house for a week before the tour. They really treated me well! Bought soda and special breakfast foods just for me. They even installed air conditioning in preparation for my coming!
Met a cool Taiwanese girl named Yun Ting too. She's a real sweetie. Thankfully, she minored in English, so she could make up for my Chinese speaking deficiencies. We went to her church and also saw Minority Report together. (with that eye thing... The tour itself was a blast. 20 days with 100+ other youths. It's amazing how many people you can get to know in such a short time. I enjoyed the games, the scenery, the hikes, the jokes, and the shopping. Though some of our accomodations were kind of sketchy and some of the bathrooms were disgusting, the overall experience was fabulous. So many great times. So many memories. Wushu and social dancing too! Our softball team rocked! Flying with Grace. Kidding around with Eli. Go Karting. Internet Cafes. Bus rides. Sleeping on the bus. Night market runs. Beef noodle soup runs. I'll never forget them!
