Impressions
We went to the Martyr’s Shrine and we saw their version of the changing of the guard. It was very entertaining, seeing them do their rituals. The funny thing was there were a lot of Japanese tourist there. The Martyr’s Shrine was built in honor of the soldiers that defended Taiwan from Japan. I wonder how the spirits of the martyrs would look at seeing the people they were fighting walkign around their shrine.
Another nice thing about Taiwan is the good food. We had very good juicy pork buns at Din Tai Fong. We also checked out the Shilin Night Market for delicious and cheap foods. My favorite thing there was a fried chicken cutlet that was the size of my face.
