We learned that its the rainy season at this time of the year. It has been raining every day in the afternoon to early evening. It was odd that this particular time in the afternoon and not any other times (morning and night) that storm comes. Also, there were lightning and thunder which we had to call off afternoon practices. Everyone were frustrated and need to get things rolling, but we managed to get through.
Yesterday, we had a scrimmage against local Taiwanese soccer club. We didnt play very well but it was a big bonus so that will help them prepare for a huge game against Ireland this friday.
Today, we are heading back to Taipei to get settled. I didnt get the chance to look around Chiayi City due to busy soccer schedule so hopefully, I will have time to look around Taipei.
There wasnt much to say and I am sure that a lot of exciting things when the Deaflympics begins (First soccer game on Friday and Opening ceremony on saturday). I believe that the country of Taiwan had done a great job advertising the Deaflympics. I was watching ESPN sportscenter, and they were talking about Deaflympics for 5 minutes and it will be on TV for 4 hours (I couldnt understand the rest since it was in taiwanese language). It will probably be on TV in Taiwan not USA. I thought it was so cool!
