Back to New Taipei!

After a great farewell party last night with our HuaLien hosts, we started our day with a 2 hour train ride back to New Taipei City. As per usual, we were escorted to the train station with a huge crew of thoughtful Rotarians to ensure a smooth transition. We bid a tearful farewell to our host families (okay, the tears were mine!) and enjoyed the beautiful scenic ride up North. Once we arrived in New Taipei City, we were taken to the impressive home of local Rotarian Pharma for lunch and coffee. During the afternoon we split up and had vocational visits. I had the opportunity to tour a local branch of the Far Eastern International Bank and have some one on one time with their bank manager. Dinner was at the Landmark Inn where we were able to celebrate birthdays with 2 Rotarians. The weather has warmed up, 28 degrees today and quite humid. We are enjoying a reprieve from the rain and excited for our final few days here!
