Captain's Log

Set 1: 19-22 July 2014

(22 July 103) In Taiwan, they define the year since the Revolution in 1911, so I have dated this entry correctly.

Our first optics class was in a very hot room. Jimmy enjoyed the rain during the break. We visited the National Palace Museum and went to a hot-pot restaurant afterward. We knew we were in trouble when Leane and Arnold asked for an English menu.
Tristan got a lesson from Leane on chopsticks.

(21 July 2014) First Taiwan Culture and Society class with a tour of Downtown Taipei and Longshan Temple. Prof. Blundell shows us around the temple. And then several people went for a foot massage.

(20 July 2014) Orientation Day. Climbing the wall
Welcome Dinner

(Captain's Log, Stardate 2014 July 19) We arrived with minimal problems and started our trip by visiting the night markets of Taipei for necessities at Watson's and some street food.
