TAIPEI, TIAWAN!


We've arrived in Taipei after a loonnnngggg flight, 13+ hours to be exact. We've arrived safely with tired bodies, greasy faces, swollen feet, and eager to get to INDO!

And...It's May 4th. We flew past Monday...which we're all okay with because no one likes Monday's anyways, right?!

Our flight was semi uneventful. An almost full house on a 2 story plane. It started off with some Tylenol PM which kicked in pretty quickly. It worked well enough because apparently they served some Chinese dinner meal...Miranda unknowingly received it and was indifferent. As for most of us, we were under the influence of the Tylenol PM and by passed "dinner" at 2am.
A few movies played: the first one we all missed due to not being fully conscious. The second was The Tooth Fairy, which Marty seemed to enjoy more than most ("because of Billy Crystal and Julie Andrews" -exact quote). And our last movie was "The Box" which was a bit weird and creepy to most. But let's be honest, James Marsden is just adorable, can't argue with that face.

Next was "breakfast" at 4am destination time, but really 2pm-ish Portland time (this time change is so very confusing!). Options included:
An omelet with sausage, "tater tots," a roll, orange juice cup, fruit, and coffee!
The second was a Chinese "soup" with pickles, a roll, fruit, and coffee. Kaitlyn loved her soup...minus the pickles.

Some of us also were able to see the city lights of Tokyo from above. I think we deserve a stamp in our Passports for that!

About to board our last and final flight to Jakarta! Another 5 hours to go and we're there! However, the flight attendants told us that we'll each have our own individual TV, can't wait!

This is us watching the sun rise on the other side of the world. Can't say we've done that before!

One last thing: this is what the internet looks like over here. It's a bit difficult to figure out, but don't worry, we will persevere for our loyal blog readers!

Check back soon for more pictures and updates! Again, thanks for all your support!

  1. Have an awesome time girls! We will be praying that God uses each of you during this time and that you allow God to work in each of your hearts! I know the 2005 women's team cherishes their many memories going to Jamaica! Enjoy the bonding, the laughs, the God sightings, and God's people! Enjoy working together as a team to serve and honor God in all that you do. Remember to take time with God on a daily basis to seek after what He wants you to be doing and also for strength.
