After lunch we went to the National Palace Museum which recently reopened. The KMT took most of the treasures of China's Forbidden City with them when they left. It was absolutely amazing. Many, many vases from the Ming Dynasty and tons of intricate carvings in jade. It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Everyone loved the gift shop as well.
We came back to the hotel and had dinner here. After, most of us went to a very large night market. We said our goodbyes as we are all leaving at different times tomorrow.
The kids all wish we had another week. It's been an absolutely fantastic experience and the students and I have learned so much - much more than any book could teach.
