Where am I headed in this video? Hint: it's Taizhong, obviously, also known as Taichung. There is definitely some pinyin that could stand to be normalized in this country.
We weren't that excited about Taichung, to be honest, mainly because our teacher the day before said, "Oh, Taichung, that's where all the prostitutes are!" Yaaay.
But once we got there there was nary a prostitute in sight, rendering our wildest imaginations null and void. We did see a giant Buddha.
And cows. Lots of cows.
These were at the Taiwan Museum for the Fine Arts in celebration of (duh) the year of the cow. It was a really cool museum, from the fancy paintings down to the chairs!
And a little bit of non-museum art for ya:
After we came back to the hotel a bunch of us went out to explore the nightlife a little. Verdict: so cool, so well dressed, so cheap. All in all, a really good day. But how couldn't it be? I'm in Taiwan!

Love the cows! And the bullet train - like a movie in fast motion.....
