Day 8: Cultural excursions


The day starts with a perfect  breakfast – juice, salads and toasts in our new hotel. The air is very wet here (yesterday evening it was +23 C and humidity was 93%). The hotel has a system of dehydration, and it gets much more easy for us to sleep.

The new hosts brought us to the mayor of Po-Tzu Town the first thing in the morning. When we entered the city hall the employes applaud us, very honouring. From city hall we moved on to Po-Tzu Cultural center.  At the center they showed traditional textiles and embroidery and, what was even better, allowed us to try embrodier on our own. Janis turned out to be the best in the team. Now we all have our own small bags with teddy bear, flower or train motifs

In the afternoon the cultural excursion continued. We visited a traditional taiwanesee neighbourhood, with Japanese inspired buildings from the early twentieth century. Unfortunetly there sems too be to little resources in Taiwan to take care of historical buildings in the way they deserve.

As many other days we meet a bunch of very friendly Taiwanese people. Thanks to all of you!
