Connor's first post - Geo Park and Taipei 101











Yesterday we did a lot of sightseeing, we went to Yehliu Geopark in the morning and then Taipei 101 in the afternoon. Sadly on this of all days iI forgot my camera but the others have taken pictures and added them up here.
The geopark was really cool; we had to name a new rock formation and reach the lighthouse. We used GPS to prove we had been to the sites and we named our rocks 'grandfather's teeth'. We had lunch at a local restaurant and had sandwiches and muffins along with a million other random drinks and some nice asian dishes.
Taipei 101 wasd quite a distance away but well worth the trip. It definitely lived up to all the hype, with views of all of Taipei and great architecture both inside and out. In the evening we had the second part of the cultural presentations, that was fun and we spent a while hanging out with the other teams. Iwent to bed the earliest at about 3 am, some people were still up at 6.30.
Not very long left now which is a shame but we have all had a great time.
Watch the video below and see Lex eat a bug! The boys dared him $100 Taiwanese Dollars about $4 NZ
