Traveling Around Taiwan's Hakka Culture Centers

I am back from Taiwan, but still very tired. These two weeks from October 13th to the 26th, I was away in Taiwan with my husband, plus three hundred more people from all over the world, for two Hakka conventions.  We visited the country's Hakka cultural centers, gardens, villages, parks and temples. We traveled all over the island to many places that we've never visited before. A minority group in Taiwan, the Hakka people have a unique culture and have worked to preserve its heritage and traditions. The Hakka language is now considered a national language of Taiwan and is taught in schools.
