It's been quite a long time from my last update.

I'm in camp now with Iain, Paul, and 32 "lovely" kids. About five or six of them have joined our camp in ¥Ã¼Ö, and they still remember their teachers, Samuel, Dan and Joel. This is the third week here and  after this week we'll go to London.We are in a place called Shebbear in devon, south England. This is a tiny little village which couldnt be found on the map, and  with only one shop plus post office inside, a bar, and a garage. What we do for the whole day is probably counting the sheep and cows, oh... and have a cup of english tea by the way. We stay in Shebbear college( which has the same pronounciation as »¹ÀŤF in Chinese), it's a quite special boarding school, it's really small but the view here is gorgeous and the air is fresh.

I still remember the first day we arrived in England, I couldn't get used to the English accent. It was difficult to talk to the bus driver who came to pick us up that day. But after two weeks talking with the staffs here in the camp, it's getting better now.

To be honest, the camp is not as good as the ones we have in Taiwan, most of the staff here are inexperienced, so is their leader. Sometimes we have the kind of feeling that they are not so organized in dealing with things. But the staff here are all nice guys and working hard in classes.

On the campus here are Taiwanese, Franch, Spanish, and one Russian, two Japanese students. Most of  the teachers are from England and one is Australian. I think it will be better if the nationalities are more. Our boys are really cool, they beat the other students in playing basketball and baseball. But when it comes to football, they suck. There are different activities every evening, the most impressive ones are disco nights. The foreign students are all quite good in dressing up and dance. Our kids are not like that, they were shy and without such experiences for the first time. But they are quick learners. They are all really good now .

It's hard to say I like this place or not, but our work here is easy and simple.

well, thats all what I can think of rite now.

Since I still don't want to go to bed right now, let's talk about

my visit to the big Apple

I went to NYC on April 9 and when we arrived there it was already 8 pm. We walked around the famous Time Square for a little while then back to our hotel, which was not very good but people working there were nice. The next day, we went to the Taipei Economic and Cultural office in New York. It was a new building our government just spent lots of money to buy and redecorate it. The first thing I did inside was very interesting... taking picture with our country's national flag(in Taiwan I probably wont do that). After a small press conference and saying hello to the managers there, oh and also sit on a very expensive chair, I went back to our hotel and changed very soon then started the SITE SEEING Part I.

Cuz we have Jean and Sandy two smart girl, who planed the schedule the night before, so we could start right away. The first station was the World Trade Center( they are rebuilding it). I noticed a sign there said " People who ever visit there should not purchase any item from the vendors, in order to maintain the site as a special place."

The last stop for that day was the Empire Building. Then we were toooo tired and went back to our hotel. Everyone was surprised at our site seeing schedule. And we planed to ask Jean to publish a guidebook for visitors in NYC.
