National Palace Museum

We took a trip to the National Palace Museum. When Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Guomindang party left mainland China for Taiwan they took about 1/10 of the artifacts from the Forbidden City in Beijing and brought them to Taiwan.

Here's the front entrance

Looking back the way we came in

Jess eating a little pancake (stuffed with mashed sesame seeds)
side note: there was a brown man with a wand and a rainbow for hair on the cover dancing with a ground hog. Who runs the advertising schools in this country?)

Beautiful shot of the garden next to the museum
(side note II: we saw the largest fish we have ever seen in the pond in the garden. It was like a small whale. Serious.[I didn't get a picture])
