I'm here in Taipei. It's been a week, a surreal experience. The city is huge with streets and big buildings stretching across the landscape. The people are friendly, warm and inviting, the food is fantastic and the sightseeing is spectacular.
Being my first time in an Asian country, I don't speak any of the language, but most everyone can speak english here, so it's been easy to converse and talk with our guides and host families.
I was lucky to come here with Rotary International. A charitable service organization that is about helping people and do good things in the world. Kimberly new someone who was in Rotary Club and they told her there were travel opportunities abroad. We applied and got accepted to go. Unfortunately we did not get to travel here to Taiwan together.
I'm off to the hot springs today and will get in the baths and see what it is like. One of our team members was slightly sick and the hot springs made her sicker. I think that I'll be okay though.
More later.
