Dear Parents

You will not believe the day we had!
The flight was great, but exhausting. 17 hours later and we finally arrived in Taipei.
On the bus to the hotel, dropped our bags and off in the bus to see Taipei City 101.
The tallest building in the world with 101 storeys, the elevator takes 35 seconds to reach the 87th floor. Had something to eat in the food court, back on the bus to the hotel. Quick shower and off the the concert hall for a concert.
The Taiwanese people have been amazing, friendly and very helpful. The hotel is great, the rooms spacious. As you can imagine we were totally exhausted by this time and packed to boys off to bed at 22h00.
Right now I am sitting in the breakfast room and checking that everyone survived the night.
The boys look rested eating well, and some are even being very adventurous in their choices. They are now almost ready to leave for a pratice session at the concert hall for our first performance this evening. A word to all the parents, your boys have been fantastic, well behaved, college boys making sure prep boys are well and for our second day in Taipei, for me, a very proud experience.
Will let you know more soon.
Regards
Veronica

Veronica, you are a *superstar*! It's FANTASTIC to hear some news from Taipei. Glad to know that you've been well received (but who could resist being kind to such a good-looking bunch of boys?) & welcomed.
Hope their voices are 100% & that they WOW the audiences over there, like they do back home.
Thanks for all.

It is so quiet at home that I feel I am at a Retirement Home. We miss our "Champ" but wow your Mom is catching up on some sleep, and so am I but Mom says I have nothing to catch up on!

Many thanks Veronica for news and photo. You know just what we need back home. Please keep it rolling in. House does seem quiet and the dog taking strain with no morning handouts of rusks or crumbs to vacuum up! Have a wonderful day.

Hi All,
We are all bursting to hear how your first performance went.

The time is obviously flying for you guys, but it is dragging for us lonely souls back home. How about using those telephone cards that we bought for you guys?

Lots of love, thinking of you and missing you.
