The first thing new I learnt about Kaohsiung is that it is actually hosting the World Games 2009 in July next year. We actually went to check out the GAmes various venues like the "Ju Dan" ( direct translation Huge Egg") as well as the olympic village park. The whole design and atmosphere of the Games Area was realli fanstatic. Knowing that international sports stars will be gathered there in bout less than a year's time is something quite special.

After checking out the brochures and website, I was amazed by the kind of sports they have at the games, like ultimate frisbee, tug of war, Modern dancing, 7 series Rugby. They have realli interesting games n I would love to see one of the sports at the games if possible. HOwever, the games is in July, and then I will be back in Singapore le heh.

Most the the afternoon was spent at the National Museum of Science n Technology in Kaohsiung city. The whole place is real big la, like about 3 or 4 times bigger than Science Centre. For a cheap entrance fee of $2.40 Sing dollars, we can enjoy all the exhibits of Science, Space, Technology. Industry and Social Matters across 6 different levels. They have reali cool stuff, like an earthquake simulator, space exploration equipment, and even motion sensor games. Definitely worth the 2 dollars plus entrance fee. :)

Towards the evening, we went to another 2 night markets, which are Sin Jiao Jing n Guang Hua night markets. These 2 night markets were relatively smaller in size, and we shopped around there for onli bout 2 hours plus. Didnt buy any clothes or souvenirs but onli got some food stuff. I would say its a fruitful day today, just that it seems like 2 days is enough to explore the main Kaohsiung city.
