We left Bagwa Mountain and drove several hours to a city known for the Taiwan Top. It's a native spinning top and the two men we watched spun small to very, very large ones. There was a Buddhist temple across the street and we walked over there afterwards. I drew a stick for my fortune and received a Number One fortune (those of you who read my Japan blog know that I received the same type of fortune there). The students received decent fortunes (nothing bad or ominous - so that's good).
From there, we went to the northeast coast of Taiwan and looked across the ocean back to the United States (about 6000 miles away). There is an island out off the coast called Turtle Island. The rock formations along the coast are really cool because they were formed by lava flows. Some of Taiwan's mountains were formed by volcanos AND others by uplift - very unusual.
