Dome of Light


Tuesday 13 January 2009

This is the "Dome of Light," the center of the Kaohsiung subway system, right above where the two lines intersect. It's very pretty, although personally I think calling it the "Dome of Light" might be a little pretentious.

Our field trip this week was to take the MRT (the subway) to a great big park, and then take it back. We learned subway vocabulary and manners, and it would actually have been a great trip, except . . . . (why is there always an "except" with this school?) We got to the park, walked around a bit, saw a stream, learned a couple of new words, and were steps away from entering the playground and having a good time, when our boss informs me that we have to get back onto the subway to go see this "Dome of Light" (not in the original plans) and we have to do it right now. No playing. So, what was going to be a good trip became a long day of standing in line and not talking. *sigh* Again.
