Today we were to go to the Coast Town of Dansuai but Neil got called on family business so I had to make my own plans, firstly as usual I walked down the mountain then caught a bus halfway to the city then walked the rest, first stopping of At The Chaing Kai-shek memorial hall again lots of things still to see,

A model of the whole area under glass, people were taking pictures from above I decided to try from the end. you can see a lady taking a picture from above, but there are far to many reflections from there
On display were solar panels and a solar powered car

The gentleman man in these pictures was very interesting, I stood there watching him make these paper aeroplane's for the children and he showed them how to make them fly, he said to me I will make you one and you can show the youngsters in your country how to do it as well; true to his word he made me one as shown in the picture below, he spoke good English, and he said he did this every Sunday after going to the Presbyterian Church, where up to a few years ago he was the organist and had been for 40 years, there now being three organists; he said that he also played for concerts Mozart Bach and others in the Taipei Concery Hall, in his bag he had an array of photos of himself from when he started playing I did take a picture of the last one where he was 65, a very nice genuine man.

I walked to the Markets where I took the following Pictures
