Jeremy and I woke up just in time. We had to be at the bus at 8:20 and we woke up at 8:06. After making it to the bus, we were off to the National Palace Museum. The museum is a place of a lot of ancient artifacts such as the famous Jade Cabbage. Jade is a stone that most of the artifacts and jewelry is made from. After, we went to Taipei 101, which is the second tallest building in the world. It got its' name from having 101 floors and being in Taipei (the top nine are for machinery devices only). This is a building of department stores, 82 floors of businesses, and tourist attractions. The first through the fifth floor are the department stores, the 6th floor through the 87th floor are all for businesses and employees. The 88th, 89th, 91st floor are floors of items to purchase and window to view entire city. Check out the video and pics (Correction, Taiwan's mountains cover about 60% of the island).
Oh the good ole wake up late, get ready super fast, and do the Danny walk before the bus leaves us. Seems like undergrad all over again, and I think we both would have been upset had we missed this day.
ReplyDeleteNice scenery over there. This was my first time went to Taipei 101. I think you are the first time in high building overlooking the ground,too. When I went to 89 stairs, I feel very scared.
