Ch’iao Rope Rescue Competition 2018 @ Kaohsiung

S was invited to join ARA (Aomori Research Activities) as team translator which he readily accepted. I was roped in as the competition will be held in Taiwan and none of them knew Chinese. Therefore I could assist in logistics and hotel etc...

A chance to be away from baby and to eat local food, oh ya! Taiwan here I come! Did months of research to ensure lodging, transportation, hotel, compeition locations to ensure no hiccups.

Took budget air line (Peach) from Sendai Airport and it was not easy to get there. Drove go Hachinohe to board bus (3-4 hours) to Sendai main area, board train (20 minutes) to airport. S was concerned about me during the long bus journey. Like he was expecting me to complain about the ride. Eh.... how many times I have to take hours of bus ride to Malaysia (custom jam, bus brokedown) stuck don’t know how long...To be frank, i was dozing off majority of the time, like usual lol.
