Taipei - March 1st

1 March 2010 – Hot and muggy in Taipei once again. I thought Taipei was going to be in the 60s and 70s but with the humidity it seems closer to 80. A banner along the street down from the hotel with a nice park splitting the road.


Another trip to Daan Forest Park with playground for the children.
















Next a visit to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial.



































A short taxi drive back to the hotel. Tian and I walk 3 long blocks to Burger King to gather supper and stop at the 7-11 on the way back for drinks and candy before returning to the hotel. After supper and candy the children get so rowdy that we get a knock on the door to 'keep it quiet'. Guess who is mortified? Finally peace and quiet, even if I do feel like I've been caned by two children, sore from head to foot.

    Looks like the kids are getting really close, I love the photo of your son with his arm around his sister, very sweet.

  8. Love the photos of the kids together. Linked here from the MAAWC group; love following different family trips.

    When we were in Mongolia, our daughter screamed and cried so loud that the building superintendent knocked on the door because the neighbors reported a DRUNK man screaming and crying so I completely understand your mortification! (: We lived through it--at least your kids were happy!
