The National Palace Museum

On a hot sunny day, where the blazing hot sun rays strikes your body. Here I was at the national palace museum, in the front were a lot of stairs. As my mom and I walked up the stairs, we started to sweat the first few stairs we walked up. It felt as if the sun was on your back following you around never stopping to take a break. The stairs were infinite, it looked like there was no end until miles and miles away. At last we were at the top of the stairs, I screamed 'YES, WE BESTED THE STAIRS!!!!!!!!!'. We observed our surroundings and saw a parking lot right by the museum and we were so disappointed. When we were FINALLY indoors I was overjoyed about the cold, windy air conditioner. We were going to meet up here with a friend of my mom that was coming back from America for the summer. We went inside the antique section when we finally saw them. We went to see many pieces of pottery. Some were made of bamboo and some were made of rhinoceros horns, you heard me a rhinoceros' horn. There was this piece of jade that was carved into a shape of dong pwo lo (pork stew). There was also this jade carved into the shape of a piece of cabbage with a cricket on top. The most amazing thing was a ball that had seven other balls in side with many layers. The ball was made of ivory and I think it might have took them thirty years or so to make it. Then for the last thing we did for the day was building a bridge made from wooden blocks and a bridge made from some that seems like pillow bricks. There were also puzzles that were very easy for me. The thing that was the greatest fun was feeding fish. I got two cases but my friend, Nicholas, accidentally knocked it off the edge and my first box when it was nearly all gone I accidentally knocked it over the edge. After we were at the parking lot we said farewell and departed on our separate ways.
