Taichung's National Museum of Natural Science

Wednesday, July 25th
Today we went to Taichung’s National Museum of Natural Science. At 5:30a.m. We woke up and ate our breakfast ready to go out. We went to New Zuoying train station because we were going to Taichung with HSR. HSR is a kind of fast speed train it is very similar to France’s TGVs and England’s Euro-star. HSR can get on a high speed of three hundred kilometers per hour. The scene when you see from the inside of the HSR will be very cool. This was the first time I get on the HSR it was very comfortable. We arrived at Taichung’s time was 7:57a.m. Then we went to the bus stop to wait for buses that goes to the National museum. Luckily we met a friendly bus driver he told us that we should take which bus to the National museum and how to get back to the Taichung HSR train station. We went on to his bus. My dad talks with him so my dad knew that he was from Kaohsiung. When we got to the National museum and got off the bus and said thank you to the bus driver. We got into the museum and saw a lot of things. First, we saw a giant squid. Then we went to the first exhibition room and it was about Gondwana’s wildlife. This exhibition provide a world first display of the fossil record from Australia and South American sources and it was describing the wildlife of the great southern super land is Gondwana, from 3.8 billion years to now. Next we went to Oceania and Space. We finished the first floor so we went to the second floor and look at some animals. Then we ate lunch. And we saw a lot of exhibitions. We played at the circus it was some large plastic toys for an hour and went to the botanical garden it was kind of like Amazon rain forest the coconut tree was 8 meters high it was almost higher that the botanical garden. The guide told us about the botanical garden. Then we happily left the botanical garden. We went to Sogo that was beside the national museum to take a rest and ate our dinner. We happily went back to the train station and got back to Kaohsiung. We had a very nice day!!
