Thursday Week 3, April 7






Today we had the opportunity to go by High Speed Train to south of Taiwan. We had sun and nice temperature and nice companions.

One of my wishes was to see more of Taiwan than just the region we visited. Today it came true. Tainan, a city in the southern part was our destination. We passed different landscapes when we went with the high speed train which, by the way, was right on time, clean and very comfortable. More than you expect of Swedish train. In Tainan we visited a temple and I prayed and thanked to the exam God which the temple was for because of my good result at the last exam this week I have been working with when having one or two minutes over. After the temple we went to a historic house that told us about all the different countries which have influence the Taiwanese history. Tainan and the Portuguese had a long relationship and the common goals were the trade and export. We never study the Chinese history in school in Sweden so this was good to know and a refresher of what I have heard before.
