Austin's trip to Taipei City Hall


Isaac learns about Taipei

Today I went to Taipei City Hall. There is a museum there all about Taipei called Discover Taipei.










On the top floor there was lots of information about Taipei a long time ago. I saw pictures of the old city wall and from when the Japanese soldiers controlled the city. A long time ago Taipei was nothing but fields. I couldn't believe it.





The other floor was all about Taipei now and the city's different streets and sections. They also had a cool video monopoly-type game. You had to press a button and it would roll dice for you and you would see a video about different areas of Taipei. There was also a model of Taipei 101. It was so big.

We went to City Hall on the MRT. It was fun, but it took a long time. We had to change trains halfway there.

Isaac's trip to Ying Ge

Ying Ge was a fun trip.

Our first stop was the Ying Ge Ceramics Museum. We got to make ceramic art. I made a tiger candle holder. It had lots of stripes and a long tail. I must wait a month for them to mail it to me because it needs to first be baked in an oven.


After we finished, we headed into the Ceramic Park. There was a nice pond and lots of ceramic art -- mostly benches. We walked all over the park and took lots of pictures.






Afterward, we went to Ying Ge Lao Jie (Old Street). There was a brick road that wasn't supposed to have cars on it, but, of course, it was like a freeway. Between dodging cars and scaring my father in shops filled with ceramics, I found a new treat. I had a small pancake-like ball filled with strawberry. It was called a strawberry egg cake.

Finally, we made our way back home on the bus.

Sabrina goes to San Zhi
















I went to SanZhi. It was fun.

I went to the Puppet Museum first. There was a picture of Li Tian Lu, many cute lions, and puppets. I couldn't take pictures there, but teacher said OK, so I took some.









Next I went to the Sea Shell Temple. It was beautiful. There were people praying, a puffer fish, turtle, shark and fruit. This fruit could not be eaten, though. This fruit was to give to heaven.









Next, I went to the windmills. I saw flowers and windmills. Carol threw up her fruits and vegetables.










The fountain and bridge were fun. The wheels of the fountain go round and round, but they are slow. The bridge was scary. I was scared I would fall down. I could only walk because it was raining.

The beach was beautiful, too. There were many sea shells. I could see the sea through a small cave.

Puppet Museum
I saw a lot of puppets and little TVs showing puppet shows. My favorite was the monkey puppet playing guitar. I also got to go behind a puppet stage and see how they put on a show.





Sea Shell Temple
The whole temple was made out of shells. It was cool. I got to go inside a little tunnel with even more shells and things to see. I threw some coins in the water to make a wish at the temple. I saw lots of people praying and they gave out free lunches.









Windmills
They were so big. We got to get really close and when you looked up at it it looked like it would fall off and cut off your head! It was by the ocean and the weather was pretty cold!




Stone Arch
We got to go down to the beach. I threw lots of stones in the water. That was lots of fun. There was some glass in the sand so we had to be careful. It was starting to rain so we couldn't spend too much time there.
