Trip to Taipei

Dear friends,
Last weekend, I went to Taipei with all twelve Fulbright English Teaching Assistants. We went on the High Speed Railway (HSR) that was just built a few years ago.

The HSR only takes about an hour and a half to get from Kaohsiung to Taipei. When I arrived, I checked into a hotel and later toured the Chang Kai Shek Memorial. You can find pictures here. The conference was a lot of fun and I met a lot of  different researchers. Some were doing research on identity, China-Taiwan politics, mental illness, Buddhism and Chinese medicine. My hope is that when I travel around Taiwan, I can visit all the researchers and the researchers will visit me in Kaohsiung.

After the conference, I visited the National Palace Museum with Shana & Billy,  fellow Fulbright ETAs. We also visited Taipei 101 (we didn't have enough time to go up, though). I did a lot in those short 3 days. The photo album is just a snapshot of Taipei. I am sure I am going to go back there soon.
