It took us a while to figure out where we were going to go on one day. We sat around doing nothing until noon. After much discussion we decided to go to the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial. I really don't know a ton of his history. We got to see a lot of his work, clothing, and even his cars!
We found out that Chiang Kai-Shek knew a lot of famous people. In this picture (from left to right) it shows Chiang Kai-Shek, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill .
After going through his exhibit we went to get some tea and walk around the garden nearby. We also got to go see a Taiwanese bookstore. Unfortunately the books were all in Mandarin . Since my brother wanted to go see the Salvador Dali exhibit in the memorial, we went back and he went in. My mom and I waited nearby inside the memorial. Suddenly me and my mom hear this noise. Tap.......tap.....tap........Boom! We go over to see what was happening and find out that it was the guards marching! We were seeing the changing of the guard! The men marched into the elevator. Everyone near us started to walk run up the stairs. Because we were bored and were very curious, we decided to go too. Even while we were running up the stairs, we could here a faint tap.......tap.......tap......tap. On the fourth floor the guards did this big thing where they change the guards from the top floor. And then they just sit there. For a loooong time. Without moving a muscle. We came back downstairs to find that my brother had been waiting for us for a long time.
Das all!
