While it certainly wasn't where our current cohort of HNC Boren Fellows expected to be spending their spring semester, Grace Faerber (MAIS '22), Nick Henderson (MAIS '21), and Daniel Brooks (MAIS '21) are taking advantage of their time in Taiwan. The three of them recently embarked on a 20mi bike ride from Taipei to Jiufen—a mountain village with a gold mining history that now draws in tourists for its beautiful views and Old Street packed with tea houses, restaurants, and souvenir shops. After renting bikes in Taipei, Grace, Nick, and Daniel biked through the city, local towns and villages, and on to Jiufen, where Grace celebrated her 22nd birthday.
