Greetings everyone! I survived all my travels and have made it safely overseas. All my baggage made it safely as well. The flight from LAX to Taipei was very LONG, however it was nice since it's Chinese New Year and not many people were traveling. So, there were about 100 open seats on the flight and one was next to me. I had the window seat, and the man who was sitting in the isle seat told me I could use the middle seat (how nice!)...so I was able to put my feet up on the seat and get some good sleep in before landing in Taipei. My flight from Taipei to Macau was only 1hr and 40 min, so it felt like NOTHING compared to the previous flight!!
My preceptor picked me up from the airport and we hung out for the afternoon. We toured around Macau a bit and I got to see where I will be staying for the duration of my rotation. It was really fun to tour since all the decorations are out to celebrate the new year (oh yea, Happy Chinese New Year!). It is CRAZY here- fireworks exploding, people swarming the streets. I'm told Chinese New Year is like Christmas for us in the States. Pretty exciting stuff.
I can't write much now, but just wanted to update that I made it alive!
Rachel! I'm so glad you arrived safely and smoothly! It was great to spend your last day together - I look forward to hear about all that Dad does :) Everyone was missing you at the So.County picnic after service (including me)!
