Woke up early in the morning about 6am to visit Fu-Hsin trade and arts school. (It takes about 1 hour to travel there) It's an arts school located in an alley. Yes. An alley... very weird huh...
We were like celebrities for that moment man... Red 'carpet', school's staff taking photos of us, students staring... HAHAHAHAHAHA
(I suppose this is their lecture theatre...)
After LOOOOONG introductions and stuff, we went to sit for our portrait! (First time!)
And... This is me ._. drawn by the TALENTED GUY...
After doing all those goodbye stuff, we went to another part of the school. The silk printing room. (Am I correct? I forgot what it is called... To me, it's manual printing coz you have to design what picture you want on a sheet of _____. After that, pour some liquid x and some other steps.) It is located in a short alley in one part of the school. Alley... After settling down, the instructor began introducing to us himself and what the printing is about.
My turn! Basically, you just pour some glue-like thing onto the silk and use the flat thing. With little force and an angle about 60 degrees, slide the flat thing towards you.
And there you go.
So that's the end of our trip to Fu-Hsin trade and arts school. Next stop we head to The National Palace Museum.
There were A LOT of visitors so we didn't get to finish exploring the whole museum... HAIZ...
Most of the artefacts were imported from China. Photos were not allowed to be taken in the Museum exhibition... This is one of the pieces I find the most interesting. There were balls in a ball! The tour guide said that this was actually just an ivory ball. The person craft from the outside to the inside. It was not crafted separately. Look at those details. Meticulously crafted. BEAUTIFUL. It was also said that there were other balls but it was not in this museum. (The image below IS NOT taken by me. I GOOGLE)
Another thing I found interesting is that, the tour guide told us that in the olden days, people of China actually thought that the horns of Rhinoceros were unicorn's horns... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
After visiting the museum, we went to................... SHILIN NIGHT MARKET.
Actually, there's A LOT of things to shop... but shopping is not me... I went there to try out their local food and went window shopping... (For your info, I don't really like shopping coz very troublesome. I can use half an hour to decide between 2 things...)
TADAAAA! Finally after 1 hour of walking, I found their XXL fried chicken (Hao Da Da Ji Pai). Actually, the it was normal loh... Not really what I expected... The sour powder was concentrated in an area making only one part sour-_-...
I was actually trying to search for this
But there was none... Is this even a brand? Or what... The whole wide ShiLin market, you can only find this...
I'm clueless man...
After hours, night begins to fall and this is when Shi Lin is officially being called 'Shi Lin NIGHT MARKET'. It's just a normal wet market in the morning but when sky becomes dark, IT IS CALLED the 'SHI LIN NIGHT MARKET'. (Dramatic tone) HAHAHAHAHA
That's all... Day 2, end. Goodnight!
