Day four:
It hasn’t been as hot and humid as we were told so many times before we came. The rain is making the temperature a little bit cool and nice. We were inside most of the day yesterday so the rain didn’t bother us much. Last night it was beautiful, no rain and it was cool. Amy had a friend that came to pick us up and took us out. We went to Tiger Head Mountain outside of the city. It is more like a tall hill and you can see the whole city of Tao-Yuan from the top. It was amazing. A lot of young lovers and older couples come to seat there every night. It was interesting to see how many bike riders go up the hill at night. We went around 7PM, it was very dark and we saw a lot of cyclers. Taiwanese people are very brave. I call that dangerous. The view was amazing.
During the day we saw two schools. First we went to Dasi High School. It is a brand new high school. It is a year old and we can tell. It still smells like new. It is very modern and has lots of new technology. The teachers are very young. Most of them look like the students in the building. Our students learned how to make dumplings (pork) and had them for lunch. They were able to seat in classes for about half of the day. From Dasi, we rode the bus to Mei-Hua elementary school to see a Top Show. The young children and their coach put on an amazing show for our students. Our kids performed both dances and were so well received by the young ones. It was very funny to hear them screaming and happy. It was a beautiful afternoon. I truly enjoy the interaction of our students with the Taiwanese students.
