Weekend English Village with J.U.S.T. Department of Hotel Management

A week or two ago my mom called me and said that her friend who is friends with the administrator of a hotel management program at a college was looking for some English-speakers to participate in a weekend language immersion event. It sounded pretty fun, and it was compensated, so we said yes.

After a CRAZY 60+ hour workweek, this hotel gig was like a mini-vacation.

^{I got to take a bath. A BATH.
It was SO good, even though I was slightly scared of drowning the whole time 'cause this bathtub is GINORMOUS.}

Event Report! 老人家紀念會 Laorenjia 17-year Commemorative Event 9/25

So I found out about this event when Wei-chun mentioned it in passing like 2 week ago, and since she said that Laoshi said that if there was one event in the year you should go to, it'd be this one, I decided to go.

Last Wednesday during the Hochi Youth Group cultivation night I found out there was registration involved. I proceeded to promptly forgot about it as I tried to figure out how I was going to get to Taichung with Wei-chun who, at the time, was unsure if she could make it on account of her dad's unstable medical condition (which has improved, if I read the FB message correctly @_@). We decided to take the 通聯 (U-bus, an inter-city bus line) from Taipei Main station.


_{Check out this frog I found on the street on the way back to 北海 Compassion Field after a late-night 7-11 run for toothbrushes and munchies. I was surprised to see it because I assumed that Taiwan's freshwater was too polluted to support normal amphibious life-forms, but this guy looks okay. I took it as a sign to be less germophobic and more optimistic.}
