Day 2 - National Taiwan U, Hot Pot & Camera Shopping

Saturday August 11th.

Met our friend Sophia at National Taiwan University, the top university in Taiwan that Jessica's brother Calvin graduated from. It built by the Japanese in 1928 during the occupation. See Wikipedia for more info.

We took quick tour of the school history museum and took pictures, primarily of the more Japanese styled architecture. See pictures.

There is a large sports arena next to the NTU with a crowds of youth in line, circling the building. Found out it was a Japanese comic book (Manga) convention. We noticed many in customs, depicting their favorite characters. See pictures.
