July - Bill  Parris -  Taiwan and Korea, 2014

29/7/2021

 
Members of the group convened on Tuesday 6th July and Bill Paris gave a detailed talk of his travels to Taiwan and South Korea in 2014.  An abundance of rain and an abundance of culinary delights. Thanks Bill, your talk was much appreciated.

'Travels in Taiwan'

"The large Buddhist complex run by Buddhist monks takes up many acres and has libraries, theatres, kitchens, etc,  It was amazing". 

​A map of Taiwan is included below, along with Jane's notes on the Taiwan trip, which can be downloaded as a pdf file here.
