A 5-day Oasis

Last week we had 5 of our dear friends from NZ come to stay with us for 5 days... it was so refreshing to be around familiar friends who are actually part of our extended family. Brian & Anita Burrows and Dave, Kim & Hannah Coss made the stop in Taipei as part of their business adventure on the mainland... and hopefully it was a refreshing addition to their trip as well.


They had fun comparing the underground transport systems of Taipei & Guang zhou... though Tony and I think there's really no comparison - we love the Taipei MRT!!!

We braved the elements to show them the wonders of the Shilin night market! It's such a crowded place but we all enjoyed the sights, sounds and flavors... especially the kids... so much to get their little hands on!!!

Of course we had to take them to our favorite natural spot nearby - Yeliu!



Brian with his buddy the Queen!
Hunter didn't mind sharing his toys with Hannah... it just took a little getting used to. By the end of their stay, the two of them were playing like champs, but it was pretty tough to get them to sit still for a photo together!



The Taipei Zoo was a good choice for getting the kids out and about...
This is week #20 already for us and baby #2... so now there's no hiding the belly.

While the monkey wasn't so sure about his lunch, we enjoyed a healthy picnic and some decent ice cream!
