Weather: Sunny & Windy~
Places visited: Kaohsiung Hakka Culture Museum • Meinong Hakka Culture Museum • Meinong Folk Village • Kaohsiung Museum of History • Formal British Consulate • Liuhe Night Market
From the places we visited today and from what our tour guide told us, I noticed many differences between Taiwan and Singapore.
Firstly, surroundings. In the more rural part of Kaohsiung, everywhere we go, there will be an agricultural land owned by farmers who plant a variety of crops like wheat, mango, banana etc. for a living. In the land-scarce Singapore there's not much land for agriculture, most Singaporeans are office workers.
Secondly, preservation of the Hakka culture. We once went to a Hakka museum in Singapore and as compared to the ones we visited today, I feel that the ones in Singapore have many things to improve on. The Hakka museums we visited has a lot more information and is also more appealing with its colours and technology. I can tell that they really wanted the younger generation to preserve and appreciate the Hakka culture.
In conclusion, I learnt about the difference in agriculture and relating jobs between Taiwan and Singapore and also the difference in Hakka culture and the preservation of it between Taiwan and Singapore.
