Friday, 5/22/09


Today, the Americans and about half of the Taiwanese group headed off to Tainan. We chartered a bus for the 45 minute drive, which was fully equipped with karaoke! I didn't sing, so don't worry...

Our first stop was the design firm that some of us will be working at for 2 days later in the summer. It was pretty intense. All of the designers there were really good.

Afterwards, we headed to get some lunch. I wasn't too crazy about what I had ordered initially: steamed dumplings with fried minced pork, and a soda that tasted a lot like cough medicine. So I ordered some fried shrimp rolls, which were much better.
Our last stop was the Furniture Manufacturing Eco-Museum in Tainan. They had some interesting stuff, but we were all pretty tired and restless, and the tour guide gave me a headache... So needless to say, we were all pretty happy when it was time to get back on the bus.

Coincidentally, the bus had parked right next to a giant chair, so we took a group photo and I snagged a picture myself.

After we got back, some of us grabbed dinner and headed to the pool hall. We played for 3 hours, which was the longest I had ever played pool.. But, we payed for 3 hours, so on we played. They play a different kind of game here, and I wasn't half bad. That wraps up my Friday!
