Just three days after my arrival, we had a field trip to the Taiwan National Museum, Taipei City, Taiwan. With me were two other local English teachers and the English gifted students. At first, I was hesitant to go with them because I was still new in the school and kind of in the process of getting the hang of everything, but the administrators and teachers assured me by showing kindness and warmth.
Everyone was extremely excited! I for one, were the most excited because all expenses were paid by the school. 🙃 That note made me happy even more!
The interior of the museum is remarkably amazing. From its floor, ceiling, and walls, it's giving me an ancient vibe that would transport you to the past. I felt like I was in a different era whilst stepping inside the museum to be more specific.
The lighting was in a warm tone that would relax you while roaming around and reading every piece of information offered there. Of course, I did not understand what was written there because only a few were in English, the rest was written in Chinese.
I could say students enjoyed and savored the experience because the reactions on their faces said it all.
The curiosity that sparkled in their eyes while roaming around gave me the feeling of envy somehow. At the back of my mind, I thought they were so blessed. Experiencing this in high school is one rare opportunity I must say.
The museum showcases the deep origin of Taiwan and its people. Seeing the relics on display made me appreciate how a certain country could be understood through pieces of artifacts. I should commend the government for doing an excellent job of preserving its history.
How one can connect the dots and explain a country's origin? Simply, by immersing yourself in its past. That is the reason why I love museums! They are incredibly awesome!
Honestly, everything that I read and saw there amazed me in many ways. It made me admire this country even more.
As a foreigner in any country, I think that the best way to have a grasp of the country's present is through its past.
Immersing myself in Taiwan's rich culture, traditions, and heritage is one way and that is exactly what I am trying to do here. I am planning to thrive as a Filipino here in terms of work, but I wouldn't forget that for me to thrive, I need to embrace and respect the country's culture as my own.
The smile painted on my face says it all! I had a great time visiting this museum, to be honest! If you have reached this far, I hope someday you can visit National Taiwan Museum. Till next time beautiful people! Zaijian!
