More adventures in Taiwan
This weekend I headed to Dallas to watch the NBA Allstar Game 2010 at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. A grand total of 108,000 people were present at the stadium, breaking a world record for attendance at a basketball game. Pics will be up soon, but here are some more pictures from Taiwan!
-
- Our aunt took us to a museum that showed many things that were around back in the day when my parents and grandparents were growing up.
-
- thumbs up says the banana boy :-)
-
- Old classroom and desks
-
- Mug shot
-
- Hiking in Bitan with my sister and aunt
-
- Walking the Bitan Bridge
-
- Hiking a mountain in Bitan
-
- Rice noodle soup and intestines from a 50 year old establishment in Bitan. So GOOD.
-
- Our Aunt Miranda took us to Ding Tai Fung at Sogo for dinner. Long wait, but totally worth it.
-
- We took a wrong turn on the freeway, but it was a “blessing in disguise” as my aunt called it, because we got to see this!
-
- at the bottom of the steps
-
- The house where my great grandpa lived with a lot of my ancestors and where my dad was born is now a historical site in Lukang, Taiwan.
-
- Front of the House–they repainted it so the colors aren’t actually what it used to look like, it looks a little extreme.
-
- Inside the first courtyard of the house
-
- That is the room my dad was born in.
-
- Lukang Old Street
-
- People who were more well off would often build wells that had half of it outside and half of it inside so that those who couldn’t afford to build their own well had one that they could use.
-
- We ran into a baby race at the mall one day. All the babies had to have some sort of tiger present on their clothing in celebration of the year of the tiger. Never have I seen so many babies in one place.
