International Study Seminar – Day 8, Taiwan

Filed Under: Class of 2018, International Study Seminar, Travel Diary

Tuesday, March 13

Logan Frye & Jacki Langlois – Presiding Fellows

The class began Day 10 of our journey by packing up and heading to Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Saigon.  Boarding the flight to Taiwan concluded the Vietnam portion of the international study seminar. 

With most of the day dedicated to travel, we arrived in Taiwan around 5:00pm and checked into our accommodations at the Riverview Hotel in Taipei.  The class continued the evening with a group meal at Haibawang Restaurant and made the decision to visit Taipei 101 (skyscraper) in the evening.

Taipei 101 provided excellent views of the city from 1,285 ft above.  At the time of completion, the skyscraper was the tallest building in the world and held the spot up until 2015.  The structure was built to withstand typhoon strength winds and earthquake tremors (common in this area) and includes a state of the art “balancer” to aid in the sway of the upper floors. This was a true welcome to a beautiful city and unique countryside. 

 

As a class we have been very fortunate as we’ve had great weather, trouble free travel, and have maintained health. As the world continues to shrink on us, so does our time together.  We are all looking forward to these last few days of the international study seminar in Taiwan.

"IALF provides continuation of leadership through education. The result is successful leaders at all levels. The class size makes it special and allows outstanding people to be part of the program."

Dan Kelley, Class of 1984

Past Chairman of the Board, GROWMARK, Inc.

"You will experience mind-expanding concepts and meet people that challenge you. You will never again see yourself as a small part agriculture. You will see agriculture as the most important industry in the world and realize that you have unlimited choices how to serve and influence the direction of that industry."

Jim Frank, Class of 1984

"The Illinois Ag Leadership Program extends to participants strong and credible experiences which go beyond the typical degree program."

Gerry Salzman, Class of 1992

Past Senior Director Global Marketing, Case IH

"IALF alumni have affiliations with leading organizations in agriculture. IALF has visibility and has positioned itself with a hybrid view of agriculture-urban and rural, combined with strong relations with land grant universities and the private sector. Their graduates are strong voices in the agricultural community."

Bill Niebur, Class of 1988

President and COO, Hi Fidelity Genetics

"The IALF program made me more aware of the importance of agriculture in developing underdeveloped countries.  It opened my eyes to the opportunities all around the world as well as the global impact developed countries have on agriculture."

Brian Anderson, Class of 2014

Pioneer
