Another adventure!

Its unbelievable that it is already day 10. Time is flying by so quickly. Yesterday, we switched things up a bit and went cycling through the Da-Han River Constructed Wetlands. A little bit if exercise and education all at the same time. We learned that the area was once a very toxic site and now is a habitat for wildlife. This wetland is also a great water filtration system for the city. The same day we toured Lin Family Mansion & Garden. The grounds are full of lovely gardens and ponds. The interior grounds were very luxurious with waterfalls, caves and courtyards. This kept the women's curiosity from exploring the outside world as the women were not to leave the premises. After we toured the mansion, I was told many people have seen ghosts in this area... Hmmm...

After some great sightseeing and learning more about the Taiwanese culture we were invited to the Formosa Plastics Group Museum. Our team was impressed by the numerous products they manufacture, the economic boost created by FPG and diversified development. One of the pictures below exhibits a glass floor with a model of the factories below. It truly seems like anything is possible in Taiwan.

This afternoon our team presented at the PanChiao Rotary Club meeting. We had a great lunch and lots of laughter.
