One of the privileges of being in Kaohsiung at this point in time is getting to experience the 2009 World Games. The student teachers traveled with busloads of San Sin students to watch the World Games international frisbee competition during the week. They watched the Closing Ceremony on Sunday evening, July 26, with at least 40,000 others in the Kaohsiung Arena. They were treated to a "Parade of Nations" with flags and athletes from almost 100 nations. The ceremony included fireworks, a rock concert, and numerous performances, including one by the San Sin High School Dance Troupe!
Mayor Chen Chu delivered an enthusiastic and touching speech, stating how proud she was of the city of Kaohsiung for the excellent job they did in hosting the World Games!
