Last minute tour stops










































































































I spent last week going to neglected Taiwan highlights...unfortunately in the rain. The Sun Yat Sen Memorial is very inspiring as he is considered the founder of the republic. He focused on "Sunology," advocating education and culture for the Chinese people. Notice the roof is made of "sun" yellow tile. The grounds and surrounding area are really quite beautiful. People were practicing Tai Chi, and a Falun Dafu (Falun Gong) group was meditating. I was lucky enough to see the ending of the changing of the guard...very impressive. The final pictures show the Taipei Zoo train. I went up the hill on the train, walked to see the penguins, walked back down to the train station in the pouring rain...and left. Even the animals weren't out on such a wet day!
