Jerry and I went on a camping trip with his Boy Scouts about 3 weeks ago. Louis was going to come, but couldn't because he got a cold. I decided not to write about the Aquarium Camp because I've forgotten the details.
We were supposed to meet the rest of the scouts who were riding the bus at the front gate of ChingHua University at 8:00 exactly. This trip was actually for Jerry, but I could go because I was his sister. We were nearly late because my dad, the slowpoke of the family, wasn't very excited about getting out of bed at 7:00am on a weekend. Unfortunately, he was the one that was going to drive us to ChingHua University because Mom had gone to China for a vacation with Aunt Vicky, her younger sister, for a week without us. We finally got there with a lot of fuss, with about 2 minutes to spare. That's when I learned from Jerry that they always take another 20 minutes or more to take attendance and get everone to turn up. Since we weren't sure what bus we would be riding, we just sat down on a nearby bench and waited. There were 2 buses, Bus A and Bus B. We were told that we would be riding Bus B. After about 20 minutes of boring waiting, we finally boarded our bus and endured another boring thing-roll call. Let me describe our buses. You know thos small community buses that we see around Hsinchu practically every day? You know, the ones that say Science Park Shuttle Bus and have colors like purple, orange, pink, white, or green colored on the top and bottome, like an Oreo. Well, the Scouts had rented 2 of those buses, a pink one, Bus B, and a white one, Bus A. Anyway, after roll call, we waited maybe another 10 minutes before setting off.
