National Palace Museum

I was greatly looking forward to visiting the National Palace Museum on our trip but didnt know that the day we would get to go and visit was also the day that the entire population of main land China also was visiting. I haven't been that crowded in my life, and I'm from LA. I was most excited to see the famous white cabbage but when we viewed it I was not impressed. Now, What I was impressed with was the ivory that they have on display. We were not allowed to take photos but you can see some of the pieces at: http://www.npm.gov.tw/en/collection/selections_02.htm?docno=896&catno=12&pageno=2

Also, We have noticed that all of the girls here pose certain ways for pictures. One way is with one finger pointed at your cheek and this is to be cute. Two is to hold up a V either close to your face or just in general and I am told that this stands for victory (over what I do not know). And the third is to hold your chin in your hands with your fingers pointing out as if they are leaves and your face is the flower. No Joke. enjoy.
