^M^ SkaDOOSH: Ode to Uncle Stone (Taiwan

Today our big adventure was the National Palace Museum.
No photography allowed = BIG disappointment
My dad made me think that this place was enormous. I thought that last museum I went to was big. My sister and I went to the British Museum in London when we visited in October 2008. The British Museum is supposed to be the greated chronicalization of human history of all time so I was under the impression that it would take weeks to explore this place. It was big enough for us to lose Kevin for a minute or two though.

Very interesting indeed.

We couldn't take pictures inside but we found this spot on the way down the hill to catch the bus.

Kevin found this enormous spider.

Now this is something we need to adopt. This sign tells you how many parking spots are available in the parking lot corresponding to each arrow.

Uncle Stone is the COOLEST. Not only has he been our personal tour guide and chauffer, he used to coach the high school kendo team and now teaches at a gym the neighborhood of the night market. You wish you had an uncle like this. Catie, Kevin, and I got the opportunity to watch one of his classes. You can score by hitting your opponent in any of 4 different areas: body, wrist/arm, head, throat. I know that a head shot is worth more than a body or wrist hit but I'm not sure what the others are worth. He offers to let Kevin try...
