Weekend in Taipei

On Friday our first full day in Taipei we went to the Nat'l Museum. It was undergone a renovation, but for whatever reason it seemed to not flow as well as before. And there were som ceramic pieces that I had seen before but were not out, so I wasn't that impressed this trip. The museum gift shop was a lot nicer, but the one peice that I saw that I liked was priced somewhere close to $1,000. Obviously I went away empty handed.

On Saturday we went to the Jade market, and it was as fun as always. The unusual thing was that I got away without buying anything for myself. Can't say so much for Alina, she got a very nice "old jade" braclet. You'll have to hear her story about the former owner Ping.
