5 people in our group won the $5000 NT lottery! It’s an incentive offered by the Taiwan tourism bureau to encourage travel.

14 hour flight is finally over. I saw a few kids sleep a bit, but most played cards and kept the stewards busy asking them to quiet down. It was fun getting every kid to fill out their arrival cards for customs. I think everyone just learned their nationality.

These are out of order but just posting photos I’ve collected from other chaperones.

One kid left their passport on the plane when we deplaned, but we narrowly escaped disaster. The cleaners found it! They’re working on a dance routine while we wait for the big flight. Looks like some kids got lunch, and others just ate snacks and pocketed the money.

Everyone here? ✓Passport? ✓Luggage? ✓ We only had one knife confiscated by security (I won’t name names) so that’s a success 🙂 and we’re at the gate early!
