Aboriginal Taiwanese Tour + World Games Stadium

On Sunday, Shu-Te sponsored a Taiwanese Aboriginal tour for all international students. The chartered buses took us to the majestic mountains of Pingtung County. The aborigines performed quite a remarkable show, about an hour long, with traditional dances, songs + clothing. I found their culture to be so colorful with ornate tribal patterns. Here are some photos from the show..



































After the performance we loaded back onto the bus to have an authentic aboriginal lunch, and some of it was
"in
teresting" to say the very least! My Taiwanese friend Jimmy pulled this chicken foot from the pot of soup on the table and devoured it. haha, don't worry, I had no intentions of having the slightest taste...




We left the aboriginal park and headed for the Kaohsiung World Games Stadium. Now that is something to see. It is covered in a blanket of nearly 9,000 solar panels, which generate 1.14 million kWh of power. The structure was designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito.
