The queue towards Pavilion of Future.
It was very crowded and some sort of notices were placed along the queue to indicate the estimated waiting time. From where we were standing, it was 1 hour. Like I said, "estimated waiting time". The queue was moving so it wasn't all that bad.
Once in, we were amazed by the abstract design of the place. The hall was very spacious but we were still in the queue though. As we got closer to the main hall(or entry point), wifey told me the reason why the queue was moving so slow; which is explained in the photo below.
Only a maximum of 500 person allowed at a time.
I less than 3 U
There is a section on preserved flowers or in their own words, "Immortal Flower". There are explanations in both English and Mandarin on how these flowers are made/preserved. Anyway, I'll just show you the English one in the photo below.
It's amazing at how science and technology can be used to turn plants into an "immortal" state. Although it may not look as fresh as a real live flower, I'm sure this would come in handy to preserve rare or precious flowers for future generation right?
Next up was a section called "Succulent Plants". Sounds pretty weird but we were surprised once we got there.
Cactus, lots of cactus. Big, small, tall or short cactus, you name it, they have it.
Really soft er...thorn?
The next area is where they showcase some technology that can be used in our everyday lives.
Cool hydroponic design huh?
Future home utilizing natural light source; the sun
Check out the vending machine and compare it to the ones we have in Malaysia. Sad isn't it?
A pond within the Pavilion of Future.
No Photography...starting from...*snap*...NOW!
No idea what this area is but looks kinda Japanese-ish to me.
We're on the roof of Pavilion of Future. Noticed all the solar panels?
Remember the pond earlier? :)
Time to move to next part of the expo
But I'll save that for another time. Till then, feel free to check our my previous entries of my Taipei trip.
