Tessa Brady—Portland, OR, Music, Alto I

Today was great! Day three of our choir tour! Everyone was pretty sleepy on the bus due to us getting back late from the concert last night.

Our first stop was at an art museum. There were a lot of naked statues outside and inside as well. But if you ignored that, there were some really neat things there.

Then, after another long drive on the bus, we stopped to sing for the mayor [of Taichung]. We sang as the cameras filmed us for the news I think. It was fun. We sang the Taiwanese song and everyone loved it. They gave us a gift: a jean bag and some other things.

We went to [Feng Chia University] after that and it was great! We got a tour of their library and then went to the night market! There were tons of delicious foods and some NASTY smelling tofu. The food was super cheap though. Taiwan ROCKS right now, huh? Our little tour guides were so nice and cute.

My group for the night market was me, the Cabrinha brothers [Ammon and Pononui] and Dylan [McMurtry]. I felt bad because I had to stop at every store because I’m a ridiculous girl and had to stop at every shoe store and I got some really AWESOME glasses without frames and I love them. Also, I got a ridiculously huge bow that I plan to wear with my extra-large T-shirt that the University gave us … the little sweeties.

Unfortunately, there were no games of “Helen Keller” or “Zip Zip Bong” on the buses today because everyone was little sleepy babies.
