We had a day off yesterday! The coaches decided to give us a day off because more girls were starting to get hurt like bad bruises, small sprain in their ankles, or getting sick. But this would be the only our day off for the next 2 weeks. It was a good day. We had 2 meetings all day about team shape and how to communicate as a team. Then we went to catch the boys basketball scrimmage with a local team, USA won 125 to 20, something like that. After that, the boys soccer team had a scrimmage with a local team as well. The coach told us to pay attention to team shape and learn from the scrimmage. Our boys won easily. I think we all learned a lot from watching the scrimmage. I know I did =). 

It was also our last day here before we drive off to Tapei the city!!! Only the boys and girls soccer team are going into the city and everyone else stay here to train. The boys' first game is on Sept 4, (Sept 3 in USA) so the coach feel that we need to get back to the city and practice on the game field to get used to it. 

Food in Taiwan, I'm beginning to see very many stray dogs here. My theory is that they somehow managed to escape from the dog factory where they eat dogs. I heard people eat dogs or cats here. I haven't seen one cat here yet...weird. Oh well. Now I have to finish packing before we all have our last breakfast in this nice hotel!
