Well, it is our first day here. The funny thing is that I woke up at 5:30 am on my own. It is actually nice to wake up early in the morning. Just FYI for the readers of this, my posting is a little behind at the moment so I will do my best to get caught up over the next few days.
I got my first exposure to the native breakfast, and I must say I like it much better than American breakfasts. Breakfast consisted of a boiled egg, and tuna salad, very tasty, with grapefruit juice. None of the greasy american foods. The cafe where we get our breakfast is about a block away and we have our meetings there every morning. Our first event, was to get a japanese make over. It was just a picture studio where we got dressed up in asian attire and had our pictures made. There will be pictures coming back for all of those that wish to see them.
In this picture Dr. Fox (the tall one) and Dr. Chen (the short one) are dressed in some of the picture attire. If you want to see mine you will have to wait until I get the pictures themselves seeing as how taking pictures of self in costume is rather difficult. We are supposed to get our pictures on Monday so I will post a picture of a picture then. Also, in the second picture here is Charles (left), my roomie for this trip. Also, here are some pictures or two that I got of some of the other students dressed in their asian attire (right).
Next we visited the central park with a theatre, with a museum, and a concert hall. There was actually a big event for one of the major charity organization in Taiwan going on when we arrived. We got a tour of the area with the charity organization as well as having tea with them. Also, several of our group got interviewed and videoed. Here are a couple of pictures from the park. I will finish the tails of our first day in my next post, but in the mean time, we are off to dinner. Yay, food !!!! I love the food here.
Great pictures.... Have fun !
