National Palace Musuem and Jade Market

 Today was a very busy and eventful day. Some of the nursing staff at Cheng Hsin took their day off to take us on tours for the entire day! We are very thankful for them to be so generous with their time they gave to us. First we went to the National Palace Musuem which houses a lot of Taiwan's ancient history. This was a fun tour to take but was overwhelming with the amount of people that come to see it (which must mean that it's very intersting if a lot of people want to see it)! Afterwards we had lunch then headed to the Jade market. The Jade Market was a large building filled with rows of tables with vendors selling Jade. Marlaina, Rose, Kyleigh and I bought loose beads to make wrap bracelets out of so they could literally be "Made in Taiwan."
