Guns and Drugs

Today was quite an interesting day. James went straight to the Police Bureau and we all headed to the Southern Taiwan Science Park. The Science Park has set up a way of life for its residents where they can live, work and play in a community. The District Governor of the Science Park advised that his primary roles were golf, tennis and swimming.

After leaving, we headed to the Police Bureau to meet up with James. We headed down to the shooting range. After a two minute demonstration of how to shoot a Police issue hand gun, we were fully trained to what we thought was watching someone shoot. This was until they took us into the shooting range and directed us to the cubicles and handed us all a hand gun. After shooting two magazines with the hand guns against the target, the first visit of the day seems a bit bland.

Onto the Rotary Club of Shan-Hua Lan-Hsin Club Meeting, there was a buffet lunch where we could serve our own food that was a pleasant surprise. After the meal, we found out we were the guest speakers. We developed our 5 minute presentation on the spot.

Onwards and upwards we headed to the Biotanico Inc. where they use natural herbs with state of the art technology to produce herbal remedies and supplements. We finally saw a Mass Spectrometer - a very expensive machine. We went to the Orchid Botanical Garden to view the orchids and just wait for it....dinner. When they asked for our order, we got excited that it would be a small meal. A large burner with a pot was brought out with the meal in it and a massive helping of vegetables. A simple meal when we arrive back in Australia is going to seem quite ordinary. It's after 8pm and we finally get to stop for the day.
