Finally finished all field trips in 2006…

5 month has passed since I moved to Kyoto, but I was in field trips during over 2/3 of this period. I’ve just came back from Taipei, my final study site in 2006. I wanna upload more pics taken during these 5 months after finishing a bunch of paper works and obliged attendance to several symposiums. Coming sooon!

We had free time just one day. So we visited Taipei 101, which is the tallest building in the world (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=100765 )(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taipei_101).

But actually, this building was constructed by Japanese company, “Kumagai gumi”, and the special elevator, whose speed is also No.1 in the world, was made by Toshiba. I wanna visit here again at New Year's celebration.

Look up the top.

The scene from observatory

Pink ribbon campaign was conducted at night to make awareness for prevention, detection and cure of breast cancer.

This river side is potential our field site to check groundwater discharge into the main river running through Taipei city.

Invasive species, apple shell was everywhere around river side.

The color of their eggs are pink.

Most of dishes at restaurant are available around 1 dollar. Even Japanese, it’s hard to guess what kind of food each menu written in Chinese means. I loved 鮮蝦扁食麺, noodle with shrimp dumplings.

McDonald is everywhere in the world.

I’m not sure about sanitary condition, but there was nothing to eat out at stand outside. But taste was good.
