A New Website?
21/10/2009 by paul.
That’s right.
While I’ve been in Taiwan I’ve taken it upon myself to start some translation of the New Testament from Greek into English. I started with Ephesians chapter 1. This new website displays my efforts, and if you’re so inclined you can tell me how bad my Greek grammar is, or how revolutionary my translation is using the forum - hopefully we can learn together and come up with a single translation for today…

T35 & T36 - Prep for Worshipful Courses (that’s PWC)
21/10/2009 by paul.
Well the new week began with a relaxing day. It’s a busy week this week, so on Monday I began preparations for Wednesday’ Bible Study in the hope that I might be able to get ahead of myself before the weekend when I am taking an English class and leading the young people’s group. It seemed to work so that on Tuesday I could prepare the powerpoint and the materials.
On Tuesday I was told we would be going out for lunch. I’m beginning to realise that ‘going out for lunch’ means posh lunch, and ‘going out for something to eat’ means local everyday eating establishment. So I asked where we were going, and it turned out to be a restuarant on the 33rd floor of the Taipei World Trade Centre. I guess this building would look quite big in another city, but its right next to the 101 building which is nearly twice as high. The building itself combines an exhibition hall, the hyatt hotel and from what I can see the big four accountancy firms under one roof (oh and a very nice restaurant). This one is for Jo…
Lunch was at a restaurant which I later realised was a private club. Apparently some of our church members are honourary members of the club and so a quick phonecall by them got us a table for lunch. It was quite magnificent, and ever so slightly Westernised. There was a full salad buffet to start, followed by a selection of soup (sweetcorn is always a safe bet!), and then I chose lamb chops from the menu, after which there was a buffet for desserts (awesome! even little creme brulee’s, mum), and then coffee. I think the meal for three of us in the one of the most high-class restaurants in Taipei came to exhorbatant £25.
It was hard to finish of the study when I got back, but I managed, and then settled down to the delights of some English tv made possible through blinktv on the net - you can’t beat a good bit of ‘Are you being served?’. Yes I’m free
