There were lots of merriment, toasts and friendly people. We handed out our 2 flag pins and exchanged lots of business cards (ours was the team card. We ended the evening late and went back to our host homes. I spent some time on the Internet before going to sleep. Taiwan trip 2/5/12 The next day, we toured the Freedom Plaza. The contents are all about Chang Kai-shek and his name was used as the name of the museum but it got changed to the Freedom Plaza after he died. Of the buildings on each side, one was dedicated to music and the other was dedicated to theater. The lower left picture (below), shows a demonstration group. They are demonstrating against atrocities that occur in China. They can not peacefully demonstrate in China, so they do it here in front of a Chinese museum. They are very quiet and do not block the entrance. They perform various physical positions for long periods of time. They typically have pictures of atrocities around the perimeter of their space. We saw this at various places that we visited around Taipei. The upper right picture (below), shows the bibles that Chang Kai-shek used. He converted to Christianity some time before he died.

Next we visited the S. Y. S. Memorial Hall. Numerous building were moved here to preserve the history of the living quarters of the indigenous people. Next we visited the Taipei 101 Building. The first thing we did was go to the 5 th floor and eat lunch. It was very different from what I am used to eating and it was very delicious. S. Y. S.
