Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.
Rehearing in the rain.

statue of Sun Yat-sen, who is considered
the founder of Taiwan.

This gives some idea of how large this statue is.

Taipei in the Rain
It was raining like crazy today, but a couple of us decided to take a walk anyway. We went to the Sun Yat-sen memorial, arriving just in time to watch some singers/dancers rehearsing for tomorrow's national day. As soon as we went inside, a group of Republic of China (Taiwan) veterans came in to lay a wreath in front of the statue of Sun Yat-sen. We then saw the changing of the guard, which was very impressive. WIth all the special steps,salutes and gun twirling, it took about 20 minutes! We had pizza for lunch -- I had white truffle pizza with mushrooms, which was delicious! The rain is slowing down, so hopefully tomorrow will be sunny again.
