We went to a big museum that luckily had a kids hands-on section.
They all loved this huge magnetic puzzle.
And everybody LOVED our kids. I asked Dad to hold the baby so I could go to the bathroom, and come back to find a huge swarm of people oohing and ahing over the baby. I have to say this happened a LOT while we were in Taiwan. They were all amazed we had four kids: "seh ga?" (four?) they would ask. Yes, they're ALL mine!
After our final performance. I don't know these people but they wanted a picture with us--a very common occurrence.
After the performance we got to meet Linda's brother, the one in white.
Next we headed to Taipei 101--the largest building in the world! It has 101 floors above ground and 5 floors underground. It also has the fastest ascending elevator, at a rate of 55 feet per second.
Anjuli loves her cousins: Gideon, Teancum and Shayde.
The view of Taipei from the top.
Did I tell you yet my kids were always tired? :) They could seriously sleep anywhere!
This day was Jasmine's 1 month birthday! She came to Taiwan when she was just two weeks old, so she has officially lived half her life outside of the U.S.! Talk about dual citizenship :)
Another picture I caught of a crowd swarming my kids with attention, at Taipei 101.
For dinner that night Dad treated the entire gang to an all you can eat- Korean BBQ restaurant. (thanks Dad!)
I think they lost money on this crowd :)
This is Zui's favorite kind of restaurant, where you cook the meat yourself and can eat all you want.
My kids actually ate really well here, minus the fact that there were no utensils. Anjuli got creative with how to use her chopsticks.
Finally time to say some goodbyes. This is Phil, our tour guide. He was with us for the entire 2 weeks.
Our bus driver. I don't know his name, but Zion sure talked his ear off everytime he would get on and off the bus. The bus driver would just nod his head, smile, and hold out his hand for a high five.
Late at night, trying to pack up our stuff (for the 7th time in 2 weeks!), but so happy to be knowing we were finally going home the next day. The kids watched cartoons in Chinese while we cleaned.
So glad I went on this trip, but I admit I was anxious to be back home.
