Kicking off the New Year with a walk to the library on the morning and afternoon bus trip to Rainbow Village. Of course, bubble tea was involved.

Welcome to #Maydayland! The whole city is overrun with fans and characters are everywhere. Love all the energy and excitement as we walk around town. Looks like this old fart needs to brush up on his pop culture.

Sunday we took a bus to Xitou to visit the Nature Education Center. Lots of walking and lucky it was nice and cool. It is a research forest for NTU. Beautiful views, fascinating plants.

Interesting start to our visit. Got this alert about 15 seconds before we felt the shaking. Pretty mild shaking where we are and lasted less than 30 seconds. No reports of damage that we've heard.

The first photos from last night's #AgarArt event. Some very nice #BioluminescentArt. The #ChromoproteinArt is looking good too but needs a few days for the colors to fully develop. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to make living art.
