National Palace museum

Choosing to to the National Palace museum on a Friday, we thought we would miss the crowds. NOT!  OMG!  We didn't realize how bad it was until we got to the third floor.  There was a queue up two LoNg flights of stairs with about 10 people wide and the exhibits were packed like sardines. (Those who know....personal space is not in the vocabulary of many who live here...and especially those of the tourist variety from the mainland....no slight intended....just observation)  We decided not to wait.  The kids felt that they had absorbed enough.  There was an amazing amount of artifacts to see....ceramics, calligraphy, bronzes, jade......no pictures were allowed...sorry!

Sorry did my MOM just say OMG? Okay now about the national palace museum not to be confused with with the palace museum (that's the one in mainland china). What did they have? Well they had: pottery, ceramics, paintings, writings, the coolest exhibit I the history of art museums and a cabbage. Yes a cabbage they were obsessed with it. In the gifts shop cabbage here cabbage there cabbage everywhere!  Now about the coolest exhibit they had! So a group of programers looked at old paintings and made a bunch of programs. One of my favorite  was of an emperor and they made mis seam goofy and approachable. He did things like pose and make goofy faces like he was taking pictures of himself. There were other cool animations where they had taken paintings and animated ther ocupaints. It was so cool!
Me,
Out! (By the way whenever it says me it means Zoe)

The National Palace museum was big! There was pottery of different colors and shape. There was a specia exhibit with some famous potery. One of the famous potery was a cabage! After the museum, we went to the night market but it was at 5 and it was 4. There was lots of food. Zoe saw something that I will not say what it was. Our first nightmarket was fun.
