Day 7

Day 7 begins as we leave Taipei and move to Taichung. We got to ride a bullet train there, and I was thoroughly impressed with the efficiency and well-kept bullet trains and their stations. We visited a science expo park, where we learned a great deal about the park’s history and the types of monetary contributions that take place within it. A lot of the learning focused on technology and Taiwan’s contributions to the world, as well as how Taiwanese businesses are able to achieve these numbers. We then visited another temple, which was very large and more significant than most of the other temples we had seen so far. We then took our bus to another city and got to see a small, old Taiwanese town painted by one man who was taken from his home in mainland China to Taiwan. It was terrific yet enlightening to see this historical monument. The night ended with me and some people from the group attending a huge pop-up night market, where I got to try new foods, including ostrich meat for the first time. One of my favorite days with all the activities we got to do.
