Oh the places you'll go

Facebook friends for life!

S-This is my dear friend Maggie! I met her outside of the Taipei temple and she is best friend's with my neighbor, small world. She is so nice, she invited us to dinner and introduced me as her new face book friend :)

Ho-made doughnuts soo yummy with sugar on top :)

With a face like mine

So I didn't want to appear vain by posting these all on FB... so I decided to post them on my blog where people who truly love my face could enjoy them : ) Lets make this fun and we can vote on which one becomes my next profile pic : ) lol lol lol

Yes, my preschoolers love my fish lips : ) Who doesn't, I mean really?

Welcome, welcome Sabbath morning

We looked so good today we had to take pictures : )

There is beautify all around

Going to the temple in a foregn country is soo cool. The bathrooms are teeny and crowded and yes this is where my very beloved ctr ring now resides... ya I lost my 2nd ring in the temple, I didn't know that temples liked rings but they must since they always keep mine :(

This photo to the right is the stake center directly next to the temple... which happens to be quite a bit bigger than the temple itself : )

T; for Taipei

Yuling pointed at this shoreline and said "so beautiful" I almost laughed out loud. Not because it isn't beautiful but I've been SOO spoiled in the way of beaches that I wouldn't even call that a beach : ) Shanae and her breakfast strawberry milk- Ya gotta love the small stuff

Horrible photos from our train window- only because we love you and the train wouldn't stop each time we wanted to take a picture :)

Shanaes first taxi :) took four of them today

Yep, you guessed it - we live in Asia : )

Shanae's new boyfriend... and were she took him to lunch : )
S- Isn't he cute? I was walking down the street and our eyes met sparks flew and as they say the rest is history :)

City by the sea

Bwahahaha they have a 'map' of the bathroom outside to tell you which stalls are free! What an idea!

Learning how to figure out the subway (that runs under the train-station .. go figure) map

Pictures from our subway window

Me and 2 randome dudes :) The subway was packed in Taipei.

Daniel with his father (our branch pres) Joseph

Kaley and Daniel :) He refers to Shanae and I as 'teacher'

Joseph and Yuling (Yulings our principal)

5 story Golden arches- ya we do it your way : )

Subway station at the city by the sea (which for some reason we can't remember the name of. Oh ya, probably because its in Chinese)

Do you know the bubble man? Who wears black and blue striped sweaters?

So basically the city by the sea has a mile long walk way of shops with food and stuff just like a state fair. Here is a great picture of a man juicing sugar cane

Shanae was SUPER excited about getting ice cream. To bad Asians arn't to good with dairy products : (
This little girl is trying to catch lunch..... um I mean her next pet

Daniel and Yuling with their cones. Shanae getting her ice cream ... ya shes among a lot of short people most of the time : )

A temple that was along the way

Strawberry goodness. And then this man on your right is frying something...

Corn dogs!

We found some suvinears... though we didn't buy any : )

Fried squid, yes we tried the samples : ) wasn't bad. Shanae though really didn't like the crab balls Yuling bought us and I was just grateful Yuling didn't see her spit it up into her hand : ) lol

The main event : )

S-I don't know why but this place reminds me of New York, I know I've never been there but I've seen movies and ya I think that's what this would be like but Taiwan is safer :)

Bwahahah. You walk up to these fish tanks, pick what you want and they cook it for you! And these bowls to the right also contain moving things that will not be moving after being cooked in hot water!
