**********
July 4: Land!! We just sailed past Okinawa (starbord) on our way into Taiwan; we'll dock tomorrow at 8:00 am.
The weekend has been full of activity. The students are studying madly for their exams, both in their individual classes and in Global Studies.
Last night there was an extremely interesting and entertaining Cultural Pre-port session, information designed to help us "survive" in Taiwan and get the most of the four days the ship will be in port. The ship docks in Keelung, about an hour outside of Taipei by bus or train. I will do two of the excursions --a city tour, including a visit to Taipei 101, Chinese dinner with the group, Chaing Kai Shek Memorial, etc. on the 5th; Chinese Opera Company and School on the 6th-- then check into a hotel to position myself for my flight out on the 7th.
