One week ago all of us teachers enjoyed a "Weekend Retreat" in the big and wonderful city of Taipei. The retreat brought joyful reunions, spiritual refreshment, lack of sleep...and...all in all... a bunch of WEIRD PEOPLE all together for the first time.
As part of the Kinmen team, the Taipei retreat was an opportunity for us to experience the BIG CITY LIFE. The amazingly huge buildings, the people, McDonalds, the wonders of the MRT, and the fact that a Night Market consists of more than 10 people, still marvels me today.
I would now like to share with all of you some of the thoughts, quotes, and things overheard from The 4th Annual Taiwan Retreat 2005:
