Taiwan Youth Camp 2008 > Kaoshiung Camp 2! (4 - 7 July)

Taipei Train Station! All of us took the HSR (High Speed Railway) to Kaoshiung from Taipei.The babes!The journey took only about 90 minutes to travel from the north to the south of Taiwan island. Here we are @ Kaoshiung! =DThe best hotel we could stay in this mission trip. All thanks to the blessings from one of the Taiwan pastor who have connection with the owner of this hotel that they gave us more than 50% discount on our room rate...HURRAY! =DDSee what I mean as the best hotel?? =)) Waiting for our room keys to be distributed to us at the lobby.My 5-star hotel room! =DThe lunch bento in Kaoshiung is slightly different than those we ate back in Taipei, consists of mainly bread, rice dumplings and a packet of drink.The hotel is just newly renovated so that make things even more comfortable and beautiful to us who would be all weary at the end of the day and very in need of a nice, soft confortable bed... =POur hotel building! Our hotel is located right next to the railway of the HSR. You will get to see the train sped by us most of the time as we would be held at the traffic junction for the train to cross first... =)On our way up to the mountain!The school where the camp is held is located right on top of the Guanyin Shan. So there will be coach catered for us to go there this time as the journey will take about 30 minutes to get there. Private estates up on the hill are beautiful! Here we are @ Yi Shou University!This is an international school compound and newly renovated too...everything looks so perfect!A huge swimming pool! =)View of the hall right before the storm The hall where the sessions are held...nice hor? =P
The hardworking chorus board ministry helpers working their heads off here...evident by the numerous water bottles on their desk...hahaha...lolA great revival is in the progress!The games are repeated here from the first camp. It will be easier for us to know what to do too since we have gone through it once... =)Our handsome game demonstrator -- Edwin Ong! =DD Students are still very enthusiatic about the telematch. We even saw a group praying right before the game starts!
The telematch helpers!Sunset is as lovely here in Kaoshiung as it is back in Tamsui... =)
Since there is time for us, some of us went to the nearby night market near our hotel. But take my advice: Never to trust walking to the night market when the Taiwanese told you the place is very near...the distance might not be as short as what you could have imagined...
Ruifang Night Market!
Some of them ordered the teppanyaki steak noodles...it tastes as good as it looks...lol
The cafes are all closed now during the holidays...this place is just so cozy... =))Preparation before the start of the Human Monopoly. Since some of the games are changed, we volunteered to be the testers for the new game.
Dodge ball!
The 'suffering' at the jail...hehehe... =P

After these days of games and sessions, the students have built bonds and relationships with one another. Cameras were clicking everywhere in this place on this last day, leaving behind the footprints on their own individual memory lanes...
