Our two
week anniversary in Taiwan was also our last day in Chiayi City. The day
started in the countryside 40 minutes away from Guanko hotel. At Bantaoyao
Craft Studio of Jiao-Zhi Pottery we had a ”do-it-yourself” experience when we made
mosaic plates from colourful ceramic tiles. Markus made a Swedish flag, Janis
the Latvian Freedom monument, Anna a self-portrait and Dana a heart.
The weather
were very pleasant. About 25 centigrade, clear blue sky and no wind what so
ever. Much like a perfect north European summer day. After the usual 1,5 hour
lunch the bus took us to a combined incense factory and museum. A vital part of
the Taiwanese religious ceremony involves burning scented sticks to awaken and
contact the gods. We visited they who manufacture the incense sticks. The
production follows a nine step program and takes two days to complete.
In the
evening we went to a music show some 25 minutes outside of Chiayi, near the city’s
water reservoir. Our god friend Mr. Tank brought presents to the team and entertained
us as well. Tomorrow means transfer to Tainan and preparations before the
Rotary District Conference.
