Hello guys, I back with the story about my day in Taiwan ^_^
After BACT opening ceremony, we were viting old time Taiwan. We rode Metro to
that place from NTU. The metro was similar with the one we used in Indonesia (MRT)
but it was better because it had air conditioner on the station so we were not
too hot while waiting the train. The train was comfortable and it only short
ride. The best thing on our destination is we can walk around the park for FREE!!!
I was going there with all the participant of BACT summer course student.We divided ourself into two group because there are two
tour guide that will accompany us around old Taipei. My tour guide names
Tracey (White shirt). She was so good with history. I felt lucky to have her as our tour
guide. She also looking after us and choose spot that was make us more
comfortable. For example because the weather so hot she explained inside the
national museum because there were air conditioner.
The history of Taiwan is amazing. I like to hear
history. It is one of my favorite subject. Tracey told us about 228 days. The
Taiwan history when Japan lost world war 2 and China take over Taiwan. Taiwan
people doesn’t like the Chinese army that coming. They feel Chinese army is
stinks and not reliable (because they just finish war).
The Chinese army treated Taiwan people badly. It cause
the people to rebel. Then when Taiwan people explain the situation, they don’t even
apologize. That’s make a lot of Taiwan people angry and attacking Chinese army.
Now the government build this monument to remember the victim of that accident
because that is when Taiwan people start to rebel and questioning Chinese
soldier that act rude to people and kill innocent people.
There was the well at the middle of the monument and
there was a hand print that we could put our hands in and then looking at the
inside. We could hear the water sound that will remind us of the crying sounds of
the victim. I found this monument are great and well maintenance. I liked the
structure and the sounds inside the museum. It did have a mourn nuances but it
good place to do self reflection and remember the history so we could learn from
the past not to do the same mistake and make a good future.
I felt peace here and I could feel the sadness feeling. But I also like to remember that our lives is always moving forward and there were no use dwelling over the past.
After
that we continued our trip around old Taiwan and stop at an ice cream shop. I
bought milk ice cream and totally love it. It was very soft and creamy. I
believed I will buy again if I had the opportunity. I will share complete story about the ice cream and food that I bought on the next post about Taiwan.
See you on next post.. XOXO..
