The Press Conference

This day was one of those important *formal* day of our intern. The Animal Protection Press Conference~ 

 So we try to be as formal as possible.

 Upon reaching the Taipei City Hall we saw the huge stage set up for the press conference.

Here's a video about our feeling before the press conference

 There's so many animal protection organization coming together as one showing their support towards this amazing movement in standing up for the animals.

 

 International organization like the SPCA participated in this press conference too. We can really see how serious they are trying to promote the animal protection welfare. Director Yen I Feng giving some speech *top right*.


There were many demonstration on the amazing talents dogs have and most importantly it is trained without putting any form of stress to the animal. Which means they were taught

Even famous Taiwan celebrities show their support. One of them was 黃子佼, a renown Taiwanese comedian and television host. He brought along his own dog which have been with him for almost 10 years! 

Each of us were told to give a short speech introduction of ourselves on stage and our comment on this campaign.

 That includes me!

After the press conference, Aunty Liu gave a brief session continuing her life's work in the organization. The core reason she brought us all from around the world together in Taiwan is because she hope that we can learn from her experience and plant these seeds of knowledge & attitude in our own country.

She emphasis a lot on the value human uphold towards animals. For how the country treat the animals is also part of a very important aspect for a country to show their advancement in society.  Saying this reminds me of a quote I learned from Professor Jason in regards to animals rights.

"I am in favor of animals rights as well as human rights. That is the way of the whole human being"~ Abraham Lincoln

On the way back we pass by Taipei 101. Which was once the tallest building in the world until the opening of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It's a magnificent building with the shape of a bamboo which portray an icon of learning and growth for the people in Taiwan.

The street of Taipei City Hall is filled with many weird but interesting performance. Some which I love really much!

For example this dancer!!

But of course you can't tell how good he is unless I show you the moved right??

Here's a video I took live on the spot! *Hope you like it* =)

Amazing dance move~ Imagine how great it is to be able to give people the platform to demonstrate something they are really good at.

When we went back Taipei Main Station we head down to the Night Market just around the corner. It was a hot day so Pat, Vitzy & I can't wait to try the super giant bowl of Mango Ice with a huge scope of ice-cream on top! Cost us $NT 120 but it's worth it! =)
