Today we had a class with Dr. Jih and we discussed what impressed us the day before. Our grouped talked about the Rapid Transit System and the Traffic Control Center and how advanced they are.
After Class we went to Hsinchu Science Park. This is a corporate park very similar to Silicon Valley and it is one of many here on this island. There are over four hundred high tech companies that reside in the park and this specific park is known as to most significant areas for semiconductor manufacturing. The worlds two largest semiconductor companies res
ide in this park. They are Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC). These building were gigantic and we all didn't know when they would stop. This park is so large that it accounts for about ten percent of Taiwan's GDP. At Hsinchu we had a presentation and then a tour of the park. After the tour we went to a little history museum in the park. There we saw a time line of Taiwan's economic development and got to play with some new and old gadgets that were developed in Taiwan. I wish we would have gotten to go inside some of the companies but it was still a great trip.

I know what you mean, felt like there was a little bit missing in this field trip by not checking inside one of 'em. But definitely taught us a lot about the park and history of it.
