One of our day trips in Taiwan was to visit Tainaan, which is where Melody’s grandmother lives. I was pretty excited see different stuff, since its harder to explore with your own family. The first thing we did was jump onto a High Speed rail which took what felt like an hour from Taipei to Tainaan. Here is Melody and Marisa listening to some tunes on the ride over.

On our little tour of Tainaan, we first visited Tainaan’s first school. It’s a little hard to describe the building’s but here is a glimpse of the campus.

I liked the wall art, which embossed out a dragon.

As well as a Lion, which was easily tamed by Marisa.

Since it was the year of the Rabbit, it seemed appropriate to write a wish to Confucious.

Marisa’s Rabbit note.

And the lady that was volunteering, which helped explain more of the features of the school. She also helped give the stamp of approval for our wishes.

Next we visited a little Danish building with Taiwanese influence.

The Tsai Family portrait.

On top of the buildings displays the intricacies of these buildings, quite amazing if you ask me.

Next stop, the Tainaan tree house. It was smothered with tree overgrowth, which housed millions of mosquitos. I braved the dilapidated building.

Another Danish fort, this one was situated right next to the ocean as a post. But the scene has changed nowadays, and the water has receded.

And our Dinner in Tainaan, with many delicious Tainaan famous treats.
