[TaiMei Diaries] Road Trip! Part I
After Chinese New Years, it was time for me to venture off into the South of Taiwan and learn some culture.
Taking the “Gao Tieh” – it’s pretty much a train on steroids.
before & after
latest trend in kids wear in Asia = hats with pig tails coming out the sides! so cute!!!
but man, girls are lying to boys about their looks at an even younger age nowadays…tsk tsk.
just arrived in Jia Yi, where my Ah-Gong lives
Jia Yi’s most famous turkey rice! yummm
me & Ah-Gong : )
and so begins our 3 day road trip in the dirty south…
drinks – ready. Taiwan chocolate milk is soo good.
ray of light
fell asleep, as always.
3 nights, 3 different hotels. first hotel room.
just arrived in Kao Chung.
visiting my aunt’s new place
yet another fine dinner & wine. and after dinner…
what can i say, gambling runs in my blood.
and in this family, you gotta learn from an early age.
even if it gets confusing… : )
from LA to Texas to Beijing to Taipei to Shanghai…yay family!
