Noah, one of the missionary's kids, attempted to teach us how to use Chopsticks at the Mongolian Grill... (We switched back to forks about halfway through eating.)
We went up to a park on top of the mountain after we ate and had a nice view of Taichung.

An overview shot of the night market. Chinatown has nothing on the real thing.
We started off the morning at the Hampton's with some DELICIOUS breakfast casserole that Kimberly made. Then we chilled for a while before heading to lunch at the Mongolian Grill, which is nothing like the one back in the States. Afterwards we headed up the mountain to get a scenic view overlooking Taichung. Then we came back to the apartment and played some games for a bit. We've learned that the fancy looking buildings you see in Taiwan are actually the Karaoke bars, which is a big deal here. We went to the night market tonight, which is where all the nightlife is in Taichung. It was packed with scooters weaving in and out everywhere. There's all kinds of exotic food booths along the side where you can indulge in all sorts of things on a stick, including shrimp and squid. But the most bizarre foods by far are the Stinky tofu and bloody rice cake (I'll just let you imagine that one!). The smell of the stinky tofu is so potent and it sticks with you, I can still faintly smell it!
All in all a great experience. Tomorrow we're heading over to the school for a meeting and to get ready for camp!
Please pray that God will prepare us for camp tomorrow at training and ready our hearts to serve and minister.
