The World Games are here!

Although I did not personally make it to the opening ceremony of the World Games the buzz around the city is phenomenal! The buses are free, students are missing class left and right for performances, there have been two or three practice rounds of fireworks, and the list goes on! The excitement of being in the same city as the world games is palpable in the air! There are murals and posters everywhere, not to mention the increase in the number of foreigners we have seen on the subway(MRT)!

Here is one student in her world games uniform, ready for a preformance later today:

One more day of teaching/testing then on to Taipei!
