I took a photo of the wing of the plane as we were waiting to take off to Taiwan. We were surprised at our hotel with the news that we all got to have our own rooms! This was great news for pratically everyone (accept for Dyllis who was looking forward to rooming with Robin) as we were all just exhausted. I was sooo happy, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for us getting private rooms for our whole stay in Taiwan..WONDERFUL! We saw the changing of the guard at The Martyr's Shrine and I believe this is known as the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial. I learned he is also known as "Jiang Jieshi" is Mandarin. Also, that his portrait hung over the gates of The Forbidden City before it was replaced by Mao's portrait. Jiang Jieshi was known to walk around town in simple, plain white clothing and was a very down to earth guy who valued Chinese Culture. I will add more about our other visits on this day later.
