Xitou

Just a few of the many students and professors that attended an 'interesting' fresher weekend away in the wilds of Taiwan. The outing included visits to Taiwanpaper mill, a youth activity centre in Xitou and Sun Moon Lake. Many thanks to those students involved in organising the event which went very smoothly considering the number of students involved and the numerous coaches needed to transport everyone. For the most part I was oblivious to what was going on but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and I think it would be hard to find a more well behaved group of students anywhere else in the world. Thanks again!

Buying handmade paper at the Taiwanpaper.com.tw mill. Here you could find every type of handmade paper and watch how it was made in the traditional way.
