Wednesday July 31
The guys went to buy breakfast for us and bring them to where we are staying. We left at 8:20 for Mackay Hospital. After warming up in the chapel, we went to the hospice and palliative ward and sang for 30 minutes to the dying patients there. Then we went to the lobby at the hospital entrance and sang for another 30 minutes to whoever was there waiting to see a doctor. We were treated to lunch, an interesting sushi-like roll (but it was warm rice, not vinegar sour rice). There is a layer of plastic on the inside between the seaweed outside and the rice. The plastic kept the seaweed from the moisture in the rice so the seaweed was nice and crisp until inside the plastic is pulled up just before eating the roll. We then had our half day off by going to Jiufen, where we sampled different foods and shopped for souvenirs. We returned by 5 PM to send off Tricia and greet Terry who has returned after taking his calculus test this morning. We then ate dinner at another small restaurant, did our daily devotions and debriefed our day. Kayla, who is planning to study nursing shared she was quite touched by watching the care given to one of the patients in the hospice ward.
