Typhoon update…
Hello again.
So I got it a bit wrong the other day. The Typhoon hasn’t hit yet, this mad rain is just the ‘calm’ before the storm. It’s nothing to worry about, just a bit of a bummer as it means we can’t make our trip now as the train lines have to close down. We have re-arranged the trip for Wednesday instead, but the weather looks to continue to be crappy!!
On a plus note we managed to make it to the Museum today. Some of the exhibitions are truly exquisite. The carving and crafting of some of the wood, ivory and stone is amazing. One piece was once a single lump of ivory that was carved into 3 balls that fit inside one another… amazing craftmanship to be able to achieve this. Shame that you can’t take photos inside otherwise I could show you how cool they are…. maybe I can find a link, 1 sec… Ivory Ball… Amazing huh? There were many more delights to see too, and we were lucky enough to visit on National Museum Day for free entry.
Other than that we went and had some traditional Taiwanese food; delicious noodles and other pickings. Not too sure what we will do tomorrow as the Typhoon is supposed to hit I guess we will stay at home! Lets just hope we can get out and about again soon.
Oh, and there are a few more pics available to look at… enjoy
