Riding the Rails: 1 of 2

It's been two busy days since our last entry. We woke up yesterday morning before the sunrise and walked out to see the people of Taichung practicing their aerobics. Catherine snuck us into the Hotel One, the tallest building in Taichung, to see the sunrise from their opulent lounge on the 29th floor, and we ate breakfast coming back at a place where they actually made smiley faces on their potato pancakes in ketchup. Upon returning we visited the flower market and toured the new side of town, where it did look like the national bird of Taiwan was the crane. The construction was proceeding at such a rate that you would be surprised to hear that there is a global recession going on.
