| Traveling from Taipei to Kaohsiung |
 |
| Travelling by Highspeed Train or MRT requiers strict discipline. If you stand on the red arrow, passengers can quickly leave the train in the middle of the doors while new passengers enter on both sides of the leaving passengers. Even with a big suitcase it works :-) |

| Second visit for the morning was scheduled for the National Science and technology Museum, the lagerst Science Museum in Asia. Together with Prof. Mei-chen Chang and Dr. Chu we explored how the Museum could support the schools in the EFS project while working on the “Eco challenges”.Also there seems to be a good opportunity for the students present at the iEARN 15th Youth Summit in Kaohsiug in July 2011 to present hteir work and findings to make school more Eco friendly. |
