Taipei is a beautiful place! I really want to go back one day. Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall was very cool. Too bad we missed the changing of the guard!
One afternoon we visited Bo-Pi Liao. It consists of well-preserved streets and traditional shop homes from the Qing period, as well as buildings from the Japanese occupation and early post-war periods. The Quatchis took time out to play a game with my friend, Ben.
On our last night in Taipei, we did what the Taiwanese do - KTV!!!
We sang from 11 at night until 4 in the morning!
We stayed in Hong Kong a few days after Dragon100 to visit friends and family. We really lucked out with the weather. It was hot and humid, which is standard for Hong Kong, but it didn't rain once. I love taking the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour! I have done it many times, but it never gets old.
The Quatchis in front of the Clock Tower in TST, Kowloon. It is the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway.
At the National Palace Museum in Taipei, the prized artifact is the Jadeite Cabbage. Everything in the gift shop replicates the cabbage. I even bought my brother a cabbage bottle opener. My friend, Yik, purchased a plush cabbage which he fondly named, Cabi. She quickly became friends with the Quatchis. They all joined us for dim sum one morning.
Q has been to Kuntsford Terrace but Mini Q has not. We grabbed an ice cream to cool off.
We are so thankful for the Chan fam for letting us stay at their condo while they were here back in Toronto. The Quatchis have never slept in such a big bed! Thanks again, Aunt G and Uncle H!
Overall we had a fantastic trip to Asia! We will be returning soon, I'm sure!
