Taiwan Day 5

The children woke up really early today. After breakfast, we headed for Chia-yi Gang Ping Elementary School. Today, the girls sported a common hairstyle, the French Braid! Thanks to Mdm Jean Lai for turning into a temporary hairstylist for the girls! (^_^)

The final look.

Arriving at the school...

The children were pleasantly surprised to see a welcoming party at the school!

We moved on to Chiayi Park for a brief tour...

Confucius' temple

Entering the temple...

There, the children were amazed at the number of students praying for good results. The pink and white slips are all examination notices/registration forms.

The trip back to the resort was filled with free-for-all KTV!


Everyone had a good time.

The day was long but the children began to show more confidence and stage presence. (^_^)
Cheers,
