    What an array of weekend experiences- the sights and sounds, the latitudes and attitudes, the connections, the comparisons and contrasts- all with your besties from Fuhsing. Great idea (a nice change of pace) to share the weekend with photos and captions.

First Day in Taiwan!

June 3, 2024 Our arrival day was a very busy and exciting day full of sightseeing and new adventures! We arrived at around 5 am in Taipei.

Albeit a bit delayed, we headed downstairs to breakfast nonetheless. Then we served ourselves some breakfast…Breakfast?? More like BreakFEAST (Kratter 2024). From eggs to bamboo soup to steamed dumplings to salted duck eggs to “berry vinegar,” W.O.W! Stomachs full, we boarded our private bus and drove toward the National Palace Museum. It was almost as beautiful as the breakfast: The museum was made of several large traditional, palace-styled buildings, and an orange and cyan-tiled, concave roof. But, the inside was sleek and chic and definitely not bleak! Surrounding the buildings were old-growth trees and tidy gardens, almost in a French-style. The inside had many traces of the true, traditional treasure trove. We viewed pottery and porcelain from the Qing and Ming Dynasty as well as the most intricate carved i
