Last day in Sun Moon Lake

We went to a culture/ theme park where we got to learn a little bit about their culture and how they lived during certain time periods. We also went on a couple of rides that we could compare to rides you would see back home at valley fair. It was a  of fun, until it was time to walk up to the gondola. It was a long trek and it was really hot that day. Once we go to to the top of the park we all took the gondola over Sun moon lake which was such a breathe taking sight to see. Then we stopped for food, and went on a boat ride which was kind of hard for me to handle since I occasionally got motion sickness. Overall it was a lot of fun though. Since it was our last day in Sun moon lake we used our free time in the night to all hang out with each other to eat some snacks and have some drinks. 










If you haven't noticed by now, i've been eating a lot of curry. Its soooo good. This is curry chicken, with rice, a piece of broccoli, sprinkle of fries and a bowl of corn chowder.

Thin Layer Chromatography results

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.
