Massages, moonrock and meat!


Ni Hao (hello) everyone!


This morning we were greeted by approx 12 Rotarians from various Rotary Clubs of Chiayi where we were given banners and had lots of pics taken with respective Rotarians. We were then taken on a short drive to the Chiayi Renewal Garden Centre. This was such an amazing site visit. The centre provides services and programs for adults (15-64) with a disability. This includes a range of programs from social work support services, through to employment skills and exercise programs. The centre also produces various products that are sold which includes some stunning glass work (beads, pens)!


After having a delightful lunch at the restaurant at the centre we were treated to a 1 hour massage from visually impaired/blind maseuses. This was such a relaxing experience and we now have high expectations for more of the same!

Next item on today's schedule was the Museum of the Tropic of Cancer. A great and cost-free experience that everyone can enjoy and learn about our solar system. This includes some USA rockets and a moon rock... well a picture of a moon rock. Here is picture of the picture of the moon rock.


From here we were dropped off to an 8 storey 'Myers' like shopping complex... air hockey and basketball was on the cards for the guys at Timezone whilst Team Leader1 (Karalyn) enjoyed smelling perfumes and looking at shoes for an hour.



We were then taken to a classy hotel for a buffet dinner with 6 Rotarians, which had, wait for it roast beef with mushroom sauce! Ed had been hanging out for this for about 12 days and it was enjoyed by all.
