7/5/09 Itinerary

Heyo! Internet is working now so I am hooked up to a LAN cable in the living room but on my own computer, hence the photos! Here is today's itinerary for those of you trying to skype-ing along:

7:30 am Wakeup and Journal
9:30 am Gmail chat Thomas
10:00 am Peace to my room to bask in AC and get ready for lunch party
11:30 am Leave apartment
11:50 am arrive lunch party
12:00 am Have business meeting
12:15 am Lunch starts, meeting over
2:00 pm Lunch ends
2:30 pm Tour san-sin High school
3:30 pm return home to have internet fixed by Ryan's host dad
5:00 pm I am writing this

6:30 pm Night market! YAY!
8:00 pm Leave night market and return home/love river
12:00 pm Home @ the latest!

The love river has become a bigger deal in recent days. It used to not be such a big deal, but now it is like the river walk in Jville I think. More to come on that.

P.S. Spoke to Sarah who is in Mainland China for a year and she says that the chinese govermnent has blocked the blogspot adress. It is crazy the kind of controll the governments overhear have. Taiwan seems to be much more layed back, but presents a serious, often mask clad, govermental face. Customs was quite intimidating, high blue desks with government workers, working quickly but quietly to get you documented and through the lines.

More later ;)

  1. Skylar,

    How wonderful reading your accounts and observations. We use to walk the Love River almost everyday. Great walk. What did you like best at the Night Market? Are you enjoying your host family. Almost everyone there is very computer literate. Not a surprise the host dad can help with your computer needs. What arrangements have they made for cleaning your clothes? Sounds like you are washing them yourself? I remember your concerns about the host family space. Are you comfortable.

    I look forward to reading the rest of your journal. Miff
