About two weeks from now I will be heading to the airport. Time has gone very fast. Especially these last few weeks. My last two weeks are incredibly full. I have 4, possibly 5, days of company visits. I have two projects for Thermo to complete, my class meets all day on the days that I am not on a company visit, and I need to build my design. I will have to build the design last minute and after hours.
Last week I did one company visit with a Solar Cell company. It went well. I am learning a lot from all these tours. My class has been going well also. Today I learned about smart grid. There is a lot I could share about this topic. Just ask sometime and I will explain it to you. I love being able to see the future. In summary, your house energy usage will be uploaded to the internet and you can control your house from your computer. Also, did you know you can buy an adapter to turn your power outlets into internet connections. No need for Ethernet plug-ins and you can now have internet in any room.
My weekend went well. I went to south Taiwan and hiked up a mountain. We got there in time to see the sun rise but it was too cloudy. We stopped on the road and saw monkeys in the wild. They hang out in this area because people feed them. It was a lot of fun to see them jump on the cars and buses. You could get extremely close to them. I have some pictures up, but I can't upload the videos I took.
On Sunday, I went to north Taiwan. I went and saw some waterfalls. We also visited a Taiwanese pastry store. We got to try many samples. The food was very delicious. We stopped at a beach to see the scenery and then headed to a night market for dinner. The night market was very large and there was tons of food. I had some lamb noodle soup. There was a nice park at the night market where we ate. I really enjoyed just relaxing and being surrounded by the culture.
Some of the pictures can speak for themselves because I am too busy to explain everything. Peace!
