    I should be more tired

    The kids are all in their rooms for the night, I’ve definitely been awake for more than 24 hours, and strangely am not tired. Let’s go explore the neighborhood! I think this is their version of the eternally-rotating hot dogs at our 7-11’s. Gonna try one for breakfast. Ok, *now* I’ll try to get some…

  • We won the lottery

    We won the lottery

    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 made it aboard:)

    I heard Kojo apologize to the flight attendant as we boarded haha

Countdown is on…

I thought it might be fun to capture our experience in Taiwan, from the point of view of a chaperone. I think I’ve got this set up to allow simple mobile updates along the way!
