A Day at the Museum

Our first day in Taipei we went to the National Palace Museum where they house all the Chinese treasures that they rescued (or stole) from China when they fled the communist take over. Likely the communists would have destroyed everything, so it's probably for the best that they took it. But the fact that the best collection of Chinese artifacts is outside China (somewhat at least), must kind of annoy some Chinese. 

The coolest thing we saw was this jade cabbage

 

I think maybe we were in Korea for too long. 

Here we are outside the museum. Luckily we have rain coats.

The second best part of the museum was feeding the Koi.

Lunch Time

They were starving.

Really, really starving.

Jordan was also starving when we discovered a food court near our hostel that has all the food you could want.

Cloudy First Morning

It's cloudy with a chance of rain this morning. And it seems all mornings forever and ever.
