Eternal Tourist
Valerie and I decided to visit Taiwan National University while we were in Taipei. Before we had even walked onto the campus she made friends out in the street with an older gentleman named C.H. "Andrew" Liu. Andrew, who lives in Montreal, Canada, was born in Taiwan to a doctor and his wife who had many children. Andrew had returned to Taiwan for his 50th college reunion. He showed us much of the campus, including where to buy tee-shirts, and then bought us coffee before strolling off to attend his reunion. It turns out that Andrew is a terrific pen pal, and I receive regular emails from him.
The university is as large as a major American university. Most of the students, however, appear to get to and from school by bicycles and motor scooters, unlike their American counterparts who prefer to drive. We were there on a weekend so there were not nearly as many students on campus as we would have encountered on a weekday.
We had a very good time seeing Taiwan National University. Enjoy the photos!
