Dear friends,
This past weekend, I went to Confucius Temple with my host family. You can find the pictures here. The Confucius Temple that I visited in Tainan was the first school that was built in Taiwan. The entire complex of "Confucius Temple" is made up of a temple and a school. There is a gate that connects the temple and the school. If you pass underneath it, you will become inspired and full of wisdom. See picture below.

The entire complex was very beautiful. We went with a tour guide and she told us all about the significance of the architecture and explained the placement of the plaques in honor of Confucius and his forefathers.

Next week is Confucius Teacher's Day. When we went to Confucius Temple, many people were rehearsing their performances for the celebration next week. So, we got to see a preview of what's to come. It was yet another fun filled day!
