On the road again

Note the title alludes to all the lyrics of the song, not just the fact that tomorrow bright and early I am going on the trip with the choir.

In the past few days it's been mostly choir practise. Yesterday (I think) I met Jake in Danshui, whereupon we sortied about for a while having fun & trying food / activities. I was forced to translate for him as he has somehow managed (even being down-island) not to learn much Chinese at all. Escorted him back to the bus stop near main station, where I stumbled into North Gate, the only original unmodified gate of Old Taipei.

Today was a lot of singing practise & then we cleaned the class. We weren't as thorough as I liked, but I exerted my influence, and insisted on a more than cursory job (considering the music room may only be cleaned twice a year. I made sure most stuff was actually moved so the stuff under it could be swept and mopped to at least knock the dust off everything, and that was fine. Also did some exercise on the field, viz. chin-ups and angle-situps (where the "ground" is 45 degrees below the horizontal).

I gotta be at the train station at 7:00 AM tomorow, so I will bid thee all adieu & be back in a few days, hopefully with a sampling of the numerous pictures I plan on taking. Rock on

it should be noted that no ground is on a 45 degree angle if you are standing on it. that is an impossibility. you should check out this drumming website. It has tons of cool stuff including videos, bios and audio clips of drummers. I subtly added a link to it on my blog.

Brad: It wasn't "ground" exactly, rather a wooden structure designed for that express purpose, with a bar at the top under which I could hook my feet. I think it might be possible to stand on/walk up some surfaces around 45 degrees... very carefully, provided it's the right surface (i.e. rough concrete with traction).

Amay: I just got back, but you'll get your post soon... I took many a picture.
