Dinosaur eggs!! Real dinosaur eggs! (Not that I could tell if they were real or not)
Saturday was Election Day in Taiwan (KMT kicked DPP's posterior), and we were down south so my good wife could vote. While there, we visited Chengcing Lake (man-made), which boasts a very special aquarium & museum in an underground bunker built by Chiang Kai-shek. This subterranean treasure hole has a wide range of bizarre colourful fish (moray eels, stone fish, sharks etc), coral, and fossils - I wouldn't be surprised if many were illegally gained! Especially the coral! I had thought coral was protected, but this place had many specimens. It was all privately owned, and the owner apparently lives on an island - no doubt to escape the law!
