Just came back from Taiwan. The weather there was unpredictable. Unlike Singapore, where a light drizzle usually harbingered a downpour, it is common to experience a sudden heavy shower that lasts for a minute and drizzles that last for hours. Once, when my group and i were walking, a sudden downpour had us rushing to put on our raincoats, only to pack them up a minute later.
We climbed mountains, forgoing sleep on certain days and camped overnight on others. It becomes chilly at night, with temperatures hovering around 10-15degrees by my estimate. Sleeping in a sleeping bag makes for a very comfortable sleep though.
Once, an old man caught my group 'inappropriately dressed' and gave us alot of trouble. As punishment, he wanted us to remain in our hotels the entire time we were in Taipei. Fortunately for us, he was not omniscient.
In the day, we took a bus and went on tours to temples and theme parks. They were entertaining enough, but not really *that* exciting. At night, we roamed the city streets. The girls in Taiwan are, as our resident doctor puts it, "2 points higher than your average Orchard Road specimen". The cars travel fast and furious. The first time the man turned green, i stood there waiting for the cars to stop. They did not. Fortunately, the locals showed us how to cross the road. Just walk, the cars will stop very near you. I'm not sure if these drivers are flouting the traffic rules or if the traffic rules permit such behaviour.
Finally, we left on a jetplane, don't know when i'll be back to Taiwan again. No matter, there's no place like home! ignited by PholkLorr
As people who love God and His Word, we want to actively serve Him and excite those around us to do likewise (ignited).
We also want to actively seek and save the spiritually lost (lifesavers).
Last but not least, like 'tiles' used in construction, we want to help lay the 'tiles' and build God's church on earth.
Prayer Request.
Everyone: to have everlasting ignited fire!
