Day 3.2

Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. 中正纪念堂

Finally, at our destination. The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.

Erm.

This actually isn't the memorial. It's the National Theater.

I knew I should've invested in some wide-angle lens.

Now this is the memorial.

自由广场, I loosely translate it (trying to dig out what I learnt from CL2280) as Freedom Square.

Opposite the National Theatre is the National Concert Hall.

We didn't enter though.

And I was too sick to make them go in with me anyway.

Here's a satellite image of the C.K.S. Memorial Hall area. Blow it up!


And then comes a series of jump-shots.

Must I put them here?

Ok, maybe I'll just put them here.

Oh did I mention they were all FAILED jump-shots.

Seriously.

The sky was too sunny for me to have any mood to take photos, and my shivering didn't help.

I bet I didn't mention that I only recalled later on that my camera has got the multi-shot function.

It got left out of my sick pea brain.

Never mind about failed jump-shots.

I have to apologise to my two lovely friends that the posed shots didn't come out well too.

Thanks to yours truly.

I walked too slowly. I don't know why that happened. I really don't know.

Upon entering, the statue of Chiang Kai-shek 蒋介石 greets you.

With a very 慈祥, soothing expression on his face.

The Kuomintang logo on the ceiling.

This was just the ground level, there were other levels that you can tour.

There was a museum somewhere. This was one of his cars. 1955 Cadillac Bullet-proof Sedan.

And because I was sick and unwell I didn't take many photos.

Not that I was really interested in it ba. Haha.

And there are other photos but doesn't matter.

This was at the end when I took from the C.K.S. Memorial side.

I like.
