Today we went to the glass factory, I thought it was very cool especially the part where the guy made the animals. The work place was quite big the people there seem to be very kind to us and to their fellow workers. It was very hot in the beginning but once we walked in there, there was fans to cool the people down because the procedure of making the glass requires a lot of heat. It feels like we see glass every day, but the procedure of making it glass we don't see everyday. There were times when I saw the machinery I feel like it might be dangerous but the people who work there doesn't seem to get hurt from it. But maybe its just because they are very cautious. When we were walking through the finished glass museum it was very cool, because there were different shapes and sizes. Even the glasses they dispose of was very cool. I wish i could also make an animal out of the glass but i know i would never be able to because it must be super hard. What makes Hsinchu such a great place for making glass is that it has silicon and natural gas. I enjoyed my time at the glass factory it is a very memorable experience for me.
