The best possible outcome

You'll note that once again our hands are not in the 'peace sign' format, but holding up a single finger. The "peace sign" actually means like "yes" or "yeah" in Taiwan, not "peace" or anything of the sort. I have to go to some sort of Rotary event tomorrow & people's exams are coming up.

In other news, my choir won. I've never been #1 in a country for high-school-level anything before, so it was new for me. Also, this is I believe the second time ever our teacher has taken a choir to 1st... usually they are in the top 3. It's especially good because they won last year, so this counts as 'defending the title.'

I have more to type about later, but I just thought I'd let you all know, because naturally people are interested in this type of thing. Your wishes of luck were greatly appreciated. This was going to be the day when I finally broke another months-long draught of no hugs; however, Natasha from Denmark surprised me with one when I saw her randomly at my bus stop at Kunyang. And scored another invite to Hualien. Oh, how I love Hualien. Yilan is not as good.

rock on

PS it was raining HARD at Wanfang & made for a soaking run from the tour bus to the MRT station. This time no after-party to miss because everyone has to study for exams.
