Ni Hao! For our last three days in Taiwan...we are camping in the Tsengewen Reservoir. Before we came on this adventure I was prepared to sleep in a tent but ended up in 4star hotel room! I'm not complaining the teachers know how to camp in style better yet comfort! It's amazing to see an education system that has such long hours for teachers and students, give them an opportunity to connect in a fun experiential learning environment. I'm following their motto "sleep, eat, bike, monitor, eat, sleep". I did a little rock climbing today with Emily's class and laughed at James yesterday after he pulled a muscle during paint ball. His strategy to roll a large steel garbage can on the ground and continuously shoot his gun's paint balls into Nick's neck seemed to pay off. He ended his mission successfully with an orange flag in his hand! As for Nick he had the bitter taste of paint near his mouth.
This place resembles an outdoor education centre in Canada with several high and low ropes elements. Part of me feels like I'm having flashbacks of previous work experience in Jordan, Ontario lol! School spirit and dance are strongly encouraged. The twins were hilarious during the afternoon dance battle. BASE has officially entered the dance competition that will take place tonight. Several classes from Kaohsiung High School have been practicing for weeks. Our youth have been joining in non-stop and learning new moves and Mandarin.
