Day 4, another day in Taiwan, another day of hot, humid weather.

If there’s one thing I won’t miss about this place, it’s the weather. Although it’s not as bad as when I went to Japan 2 years ago, it’s still much more humid (about 2-3 times) than where I live in northern Utah. Compare to the US, this weather can probably be compared to that of Texas and Florida, not something I’m used to.

Because it was 85°F with 80%. humidity, we decided to spend it indoors and what better way for a couple of history lovers than to spend the day in a museum. The National Palace Museum is a place to spend the day.

My favorite exhibition was the calligraphy exhibition. It was very interesting (to me) to see the beautiful handwriting of historical figures, whether well-known or ordinary. There were a few documents that made me wonder whether the Chinese characters were handwritten or typed. That’s how good they were. T

Do you know the worst thing to do in such weather?

Hiking up the mountain!

Too bad I’m a sucker for a good sunset. Hiking in Taiwan is different. Instead of hiking on a sloped dirt path, it’s an endless staircase. It reminded me of the time when I climbed the Great Wall of China. I must admit, though, it does make going up and down much easier but get ready for sore thighs.

The reward at the end of the road was definitely worth it.
