i'm tired and lacking the ability to make sense. it is ridiculously late, so this will be most likely be a poor entry but nice photos to look at. Basically the day started alright, one could say average, but then it turned into miserable and ended in magic.
It started to rain seriously hard when we got to the workshop site and conveniently a hole in the roof/tent near my float. I was thinking very negatively for hours. But then while I was working on the float people drove slow past the site to check out what we were doing, people continuously kept saying to me "beautiful" in Mandarin and Ami, it stopped raining, my favorite people came to work, I was just watching everyone be so into it or greatly appreciating all the work, then people on staff at Dream Community were verbally appreciating my work, i laughed so much, and I just had fun.
The first picture is, I still can't remember his name, the brave good man that sleeps by the floats every night to make sure they are ok. Here he was very proud of all the leaves he painted so tediously and tirelessly. The second picture is a view of the workshop space, the turtle in progress and everyone talking (where I don't understand) how to keep the grass up on the float. The third picture was right after Tarlo, who is terribly amusing and charming, kinda dared me to drink a large sum of alcohol and I dared him to put duct tape on his mouth, then rip it off (remember the giant language barrier). Then I got the idea that it would be very funny to mimic his facial hair with the duct tape, at first he thought I was crazy and didn't understand what I was doing and running around for (scissors). But then I said, "Ka Ku Chi Tarlo!" he was greatly amused along with everyone else under the tent.
