Our last two days


We were able to play a variety of instruments during a music lesson.  


 Students presented puppet shows.  They were filmed and were on television :) 
 We attended a traditional tea ceremony presented by the Chingshin kindergarden students.  






 Filming in progress for our staring role on TV :) 
 We made sandwiches and tried a variety of traditional chinese dishes.  






 The Chingshin Orchestra performed two pieces for us.  They were amazing!!!!!! 
 Our presentation :) 

Indigenous students from Taiwan visited Taipei and Chingshin for the first time.   Shanmei School Students performed for us, then we all danced together.   :) 

 Last night we attended an appreciation dinner.  Students and families shared their home stay experience.  The Chingshin family have certainly embraced our students and really taken them into their homes.  Just wonderful.





 Lachlan's host family prepared a surprise cake for his birthday next week. :) 

 There were some great hats at the markets! 
 Chingshin Kindy kids performing Kookaburra sits in the Old Gum Tree :) 




 We had a great morning presenting a lion dance.
