Today we took a day trip to Tainan. It was about an hour trip on the train. The first thing that we did while we were there was visit a Confucian Temple. It was the oldest one in Taiwan. They had some interesting things in there and the architecture was pretty spectacular. I also got to witness the first squat toilet that I've seen in their country in the bathroom.
The second place that we visited was the Golden Fortress. It was the most aesthetically pleasing military fixture that I have ever seen. There was a Japanese tour group that went in before us, so we ended up following them around just to make sure that we saw everything that was supposed to be seen inside.
The worst part about the day was easily the heat. It was definitely the hottest day since we got here and the buildings and concrete just trap and radiate the heat. We took a taxi out to the fortress, but it was outside of the main traffic areas. When we were finished looking at that, we had to walk back far enough into town to hail a cab. When we were walking back, there was absolutely no shade and the sun made the conditions absolutely brutal. Luckily, we survived.
After we bought our tickets for the trip back to Chiayi, we looked around for stuff to do and found a park nearby. Once again, it looked amazing.
