Orientation

I don't have much time to write anything because I'm going to a devensive van driving class in about 5 minutes, but so far I am enjoying camp. We are in orientation for a few more days. I have enjoyed orientation because all the counselors from all different languages are at camp together. I love being surrounded by all these multi-lingual people. Every single one of the Chinese staff (there are about 20 staff altogether) speaks a third language besides Chinese and English. I'm getting to speak lots of Chinese, quite a bit of Spanish too, and I am listening to all kinds of other languages like French, German, Norwegian, Swedish, and even Finnish. Anyway, time to go learn to drive a van defensively. Zai jian!

Is this defensive driving as in how to not wreck a van full of screaming kids? or as in how to make evasive maneuvers to escape the bad guys? My guess is you would enjoy the second a lot more...
