Our first evening meal was quite a surprise. Our host families also hosted our first formal evening meal. As you can see from the picture, it certainly was a grand meal. Formal evening meals are either 8 or 10 course meals. Host sponsored dinner 2/3/12 It was a long day but we all enjoyed it. I certainly did sleep well that night. Even though we did a huge amount of standing and walking, I was able to find enough places to rest my legs and back. It turns out that this would be a typical day with lots of standing and walking. I slept very well every night. I struggled a bit with Internet connection but between my host and me, we finally got it set up. I could not send email directly from my computer but I could go to my web site email program and handle emails from there. Taiwan trip 2/4/12 This was another very busy day with a visit to the National Palace Museum and the Shulin Garden Residence. I got up early and decided to take a couple pictures of my first host’s home before beginning the days adventures. The apartment is on the 14 th floor (top floor) of a fairly new apartment building in New Taipei. I took the pictures from near the entrance to my quarters. My quarters consisted of a bedroom, computer/library room and a full bath. The view out the side window looks towards the 101 building that we went to visit later in the week. Page 6
First host home 2/4/12 Our first sight of the day was the National Palace Museum. I estimate the entire area of the grounds was on the order of 40 acres. I base this estimate on the view of 40 acres that I have from my dinning table in my home in Wisconsin. In the background, is the actual museum. There was a large open area behind the entry with a building on each side of the open area. This seems to be a common layout for museums in Taiwan. Page 7
