Getting to know you

The first few days have been spent getting to know Taiwan. We've spent time in different parts of Taipei and seen some amazing things already. The highlight of today was the snakes and rats in the restaurant window, although we didn't see anyone eating them inside! It's very hot and sticky all the time although it can rain at any time without any notice. We were able to visit the homeless shelter today where they serve food and provide showers for those living on the streets. It's in the same part of the city where we'll be working with children and young people. We've gt a few more days of preparation and then the real work begins!
