We started our day off by meeting some new Rotarian friends and hosts of the 5th division of district 3490. Saying zaijian (goodbye) to the hosts we have come to know is never easy but we are always keen to meet new people :)
We then began an impressively thorough tour of the Xianse temple. It is approximately 250 years old making it one of Taiwan's oldest temples! And one of Taiwan's many temples... There are roughly 2000 in Taiwan! This one in particular had about 30 gods in separate rooms that are open to the public for honour and worship. Unfortunately, time would only permit us to learn about some of them so we visited approximately 5 gods/rooms.
We then had an amazing feast for lunch... As always!! At lunch our flexible Rotarian companions helped us switch up plans for the afternoon due to the rain. We were scheduled to go to the Taipei Expo Park but hit the beautiful Taipei Fine Arts Museum instead! This gallery of interesting pieces stimulated some great conversations between our group.
After a lovely dinner, we each headed to our homes for the night with some new friends :)
