Last day in Kenting

Started off the day with some breakfast. They gave us an egg, some fries, a salad,and some sausages. I wouldn't eat these items for breakfast, or even together as a meal, but that's what we were served. I didn't like anything besides the fries and the eggs. We headed to Kenting National Park, hit up Henchen city for some more green onion pancakes, went go carting, paint balling, and then had dinner at Bossa Nova which is an american style restaurant.

Strawberry ice cream, it was really good. The middle white part was like a creme flavor. It wasn't really a refreshing type of ice cream, but it was definitely needed due to hot it was outside. 





Chhuo Nature Fire. This place has holes in the ground that naturally release gas, and some how some way this gas was lit and now has been burning for a very long time.

Time to get in the go carts. I wasn't very fond of the go kart helmets. It barely fit my head and I wasn't sure how clean it was. Had a blast though.



 We were all wearing different colored hats because our first round of paint ball was a free for all. The hats helped to distinguish all of us from each other. I also didn't like wearing these hats. I am sure they are washed, but I know multiple people wear these hats so felt like I was wearing someone else's hat.

It was time to start our paint ball war. Me and Baily were a team and so we were wearing the same colored suit, and the other two were on the other team. It was a lot of fun, although Baily hit everyone of us, so I got about 3 baby welts on my arm, on my leg, and by my back. I have never done paint ball on an outside track, only inside tracks. I really enjoyed playing this game with a smaller group. It was just us four which made it more close and personal. 


Had a chicken sandwich at Bossa Nova. It wasn't anything like a chicken sandwich back home, but it was good enough to eat once we all added pico de gallo to it.  In the end, all our stomachs were hurting, so we think maybe the sandwich is to blame

Thin Layer Chromatography results

Image
We started with running thin layer chromatography of every single sample we collected from the day before during the medium pressure liquid chromatography. We had 52 tubes of samples, but not every tube was filled with enough product to run a TLC. This first TLC depicted is our 1st tube being ran on normal phase plates, instead of the reverse phase plates we used previously. As you continue to look down this page you will see that our numbers bounce around, and some numbers are skipped, because there wasn't enough to test it. We started off with only placing 1 collection of compounds on each plate, to doing two different compounds, and realizing due to our graph from yesterday that a lot of our compounds have kind of stuck together. So, we have a great deal of compounds that look similar and in order to tell we need bigger plates. We moved to doing 5 or 6 different solutions on a plate, which was nice because it allowed us to complete it faster. Once we had the visual of what com

Taipei Zoo | Chocolate shakes

Just like before, we went to the lab to analyze our zebra fish embryos. The last time we were in the lab, we treated each grouping of fish with a different chemical. I do not know what each chemical was intended to do, but we analyzed the fish by categorizing each embryos into the certain stages of heart failure. The other group wasn't as lucky as a lot of their embryos were dead. After we finished up our analysis, we were off to see Taipei 101 (the place where the fireworks happened for bringing in the new year), then the Taipei zoo, and then we finished off the day riding a gondola up into the mountains where we enjoyed a tea dinner.  The yellow arrow is pointing at an embryo that looks disfigured compared to the other embryos in that well. We concluded it was dead due to no detection of the heart beating.  This one well contains some decaying zebra fish embryos.  Taipei 101 Taipei 101 serves a popular beverage called mango beer.
