The rainbow.   Have you seen
one? That arc in the sky with a band of colors.   Appearing after a rain or probably near a waterfall,
it happens when water droplets refract the light coming from the sun.   I have seen it many times
in Taiwan from Taipei to Kenting after the dark clouds in the sky have receded.   But in Taichung
you can always find the rainbow, all on its shining glory.

There's a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow Village.
 Every hour tour buses make a stop in front of the military dependents' community, making this
place more popular as ever.  A small complex of homes with tiles on its roofs, it is now a major
tourist attraction in the city.   I have been here before in Taiwan Day 553 during my first Taichung
Special and I was so excited to see it for the first time.   Comparing the Rainbow Village in 2017
to 2015, it is now more colorful and vibrant.  After being neglected for some time, the rainbow
had finally reappeared!
