Settled In

Well, it has been just over 3 weeks since the plane landed in Taipei. I have welcomed by a typhoon and four, yes, four earthquakes. All four measured 5.5 or above. I live on the 7th floor, when the 6.7 hit at 12 midnight, the building swayed so much, I was ready to run. Then I realized, what good is running, I will be buried in the rubbles before I hit the ground floor so I laid back in bed and rode it out. I talked to the building manager the next morning, he did not think any of it. "You should have been here 5 years ago when that 7.4 hit, THAT was scary".
I spent a day visiting a museum features an archaeology site of an early settler called 13hung. The museum is a rather small in size but the design of the building is somewhat interesting. Here is a link to few of the photos I took of the building.
