Finally, we went to the aboriginal park on the last day. This place was a wierd combination - half culture park museum, half amusement park. This can be somewhat explained by their interest in attracting school groups. Parents, teachers, etc. want field trips to have some educational value but actually kids don't care and just want to go on the dumb rides. So this place, with recreations of the villages and carving of various aboriginal tribes in taiwan next to a roller coaster and other stuff like that. I didnt ride the rides (other than the gondola which took us to the top of the hill so we could walk to the bottom and see the villages) but i enjoyed the villages. You can see me next to some recreations of skulls above. Taiwan had several tribes who were headhunters, and they would display the skulls of fallen enemies as warnings, much like me and the dead mosquitoes i leave on my ceiling.
