From Beijing to Taiwan!!!

Today we flew from Beijing to Taiwan!

While we were waiting at the airport, we visited a small exhibit about the forbidden city.

Inside the exhibit, we watched a video about the Palace Museum and the Forbidden City.

At the exhibit, there were interactive screens that displayed ancient artifacts of the Forbidden City.

You could enlarge the artifacts and twist them around on the screens. We learned a lot about the artifacts and their origins.

There was also a wall in the exhibit with beautiful Chinese characters.

The best part of the exhibit was "Ancient Chinese Drawing Screen".

There were 4 chinese paintings to choose from.

You could fill in the painting with your own colors. After that, you put in your own inscription.

You can choose to put in your own inscription, or use their inscription. You can also do both.

Finally, you created your own seal. Below is Anabel's seal.

We had a lot of fun in this exhibit creating seals, writing inscriptions, and putting colors onto the screen!

Finally, it was time to board the plane.

Below is a video that Theodore took of the view outside the plane just after we took off.

On the plane, we had a delicious meal of Thai fish, rice, tomato/onion salad, bread, and chocolate cake.

Our flight was be very short. In just a few hours, we arrived at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport!

After going through customs, we were greeted with beautiful sculptures!

There was also a map of Taiwan to help visitors.

We are so excited to be in Taiwan again! We are looking forward to the following 2 weeks we will be spending in Taiwan!
