Sightseeing in Taipei


We took our 1st trip to Taipei to see museums and a Chinese Buddhist temple.  We took a train from our apartment in Neili to Taipei, about 40 minutes one way.   A niece of one of the ladies from Friendship International at First Baptist Church in Round Rock, Texas took us to the 4 places including an old Chinese Temple where hundreds were worshipping Buddha and Chinese gods. We were troubled by this scene but realized that they don’t know the real, living God.  The niece also took us to the National Museum full of artifacts from China.  We spent three hours at the museum looking at china bowls, paintings,  old manuscripts, and priceless glass wear. Sorry, but no pictures were allowed. We had a great time and were very tired when we got home.
