Thanks Mike for setting this all up. Anyone found a place to live yet? I am thinking about a few days at the beach in Tainan before orientation because I know I will not get any breaks before then!

And we're live.

Taiwan Orientation 2007 (SIT)

Higher resolution versions were uploaded to the FTP server.

I had such a great week together with all of you. I hope to travel while in Taiwan and it would be wonderful to meet up with you guys. I'm studying in Hsinchu at NCTU, so please let me know if you plan to be in the area.

Hi guys,
Upload your photos onto the ftp:
ip: mcs9.cs.nthu.edu.tw port: 5200 account: SITsa pwd: sit

Let's get together sometime, there're some nice places to go in Taipei. If you're going to Tainan or Kaohsung, look for Semis, Tim, or Joel, they know their ways around. As for Taichung, call Sophia, that's her territory. If any of you is planning on going to Kenting, you should start planning now, cause it's really popular, and hotel reservations need to be made early.

Anyways, hope to see u all soon!

i've gone and done it--there is a facebook group called "SIT 2007". it's a closed group. i figured calling it EAPSI would leave out the taiwanese and the canadians =P. i haven't seen any other groups for this event, but if I'm mistaken let me know.

for those who have cell phones or land lines, i'm at 0928 477 621 or jean.lee@duke.edu. MSN is joryrl@hotmail.com, AIM: joryrl. i'll be in hsinchu and taipei with hopefully weekend trips to central taiwan.

and to the staff, thanks again for an awesome week. i hope you guys have slept lots since yesterday.

I also uploaded the video of the 'tongue' dance from the farewell party (I've specified this video to be private which means that it is unlisted). Follow this link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6036336114535351281&hl=en.

I miss you all already, and hope that we can see one another before we leave Taiwan. I am at the National Central University in Jhongli, Taoshun. I will probably head down to Taipei during some of the weekends while I'm here. Please let me know if any of you are nearby, and want to meet up.
