**Seems pointless now to post the itinerary as it seems to have deviated from the original. I'll post anyway to let you know what she was SUPPOSED to be doing.
-----------------------------------
Updating you from a university in Taipei. Got to teach my lesson this morning - I think it was a little difficult for them to follow...but went okay. Was fun to be with students for a bit and some of them are very funny. I'm not sure what else we are doing today but we are taken care of so that is good. This morning did not go well - Jessica went to take a shower and encountered a little gecko running around. It was FAST!! hard to catch it but we got it finally and it jumped out the window from the paper I had it on. Then, the shower drain got backed up and would have flooded the floor...so neither of us got showers this morning on the day we were supposed to teach. Anyway, I was a bit grumpy but things are a little better now and I'm glad to have the teaching done with so I can just toodle around again.
If Hong Kong is like Seattle then Taipei kind of reminds me of Yakima. A bit run down everywhere and I'm a little afraid of the food I'm going to get. My credit card and debit card won't work (don't take MasterCard here and the ATM didn't let me withdraw any money) so I'm feeling a little stranded. But, I'll manage, I think, with a little help from the others in the group who have some Taiwan money.
Didn't sleep too well last night. The hotel was loud and at one point someone was trying to do their card key in our door so that jolted me wide awake. After succumbing to the ear plugs I did finally sleep. Anyway....it's interesting and I'm very much looking forward to being HOME and hugging my family. Miss you all so much and am really looking forward to see you all, just being mama, and having some COOLER weather.
Can't say I know much about our itinerary - it seems to have changed from the original one of which you have a copy. Apparently Saturday is a "free" day which I know will be more like "why bother staying this extra day?" kind of day, but whatever. Can you tell I'm ready to come home :)??
