The Evergreen Maritime Museum is located in downtown Taipei. I stumbled across it almost by accident, and I was very glad I did. Though relatively unknown, it is an amazing museum with hundreds of elaborate models of famous ships throughout history, a display of maritime paintings, and technical hands-on displays of the components of modern ships.

It’s a Sunday morning over here in Taipei, and I am about to have my first cup of coffee of the day. I did not wake up to rain, but the skies are clouded over and my tiny rooftop apartment (otherwise known as Rooftop Paradise) is quite chilly and damp – sure signs that winter is on its way or already here to stay.
