A visit to the Taipei First Girls' High School began our day. This school is over 100 years old and caters to the country's brightest and most talented students. We learned a lot about the school by questioning two of the seniors that were present for the orientation given to our group. The school was the number one choice for these girls, and they showed how well they were educated as they told us about the curriculum and others programs provided for students.
The team gave their presentation to the Pailing Rotary Club of Taipei at their luncheon meeting. Our presentation has improved and the team members are enjoying their exchanges with the club members.
We visited the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the Story House which was nearby. Both gave us a better understanding to the art & culture of Taipei.
At the Taipei Film House we enjoyed an afternoon tea & snack break before visiting the studio gallery of sculptor, Jun Youn.
