Taiwan

Angie's House
These few days have been very busy. The day after the birthday party, we went to Angie's house to see Isabel, Alanna and Joseph.

Funeral Day
The day after that was my Grandpa's funeral. We stayed there for six hours and had to wear these long cloaks. I was really sad and hope I don't have to do that again. We buried Grandpa's ashes under a tree at a special cemetery.
 Swimming
We went swimming at the same pool that we had Conrad's birthday party again with Conrad. There were less people and we went to the spa. The spa's in Taiwan are very different from Greymouth spa's. In Greymouth, you have to be 16+ to go in, and it is only a small warmish one. In Taiwan, you can go in at any age, and it is big with lots of different massaging machines and different spa's.

 Going To Angie's (Again)

All of these people are playing Pokemon Go! This is a Pokegym.

Today, we went to Angie's again. We took the MRT and Angie picked us up. There were a lot of people playing Pokemon GO on the streets and even in cars. When we got to the house, we sat down and played with Sandy the rat and Gizmo the Chiwawa. Soon, we had to leave because mum had Taipei Writers Group on. She had to get off before us, so Kyle and I went on the MRT ourselves and met up with Baba (our Dad).

Trip to Danshui

We took the MRT to Danshui. Danshui is an old city that once belonged to the Portuguese.

There were four dogs in this pushchair for pets!

We took a boat across the harbour.

This is Shimending. It is a place for shopping at night.

My Old School

Today, we went to my old school and saw my friends Kiki, Abby, and Vivi. Those are their English names that I remember, but Kiki said she changed her English name.

Day 3
 Today, we went to the hospital to worship (Bai Bai) A-gong (grandpa) which was two hours long.

After that, we went to a swimming pool and celebrated Conrad's birthday. We had two cakes and some chips. I saw Alanna, Isabel, Joseph, Ashkin, Nile, Conrad, and the parents; Jason, Angie, Jenny and Baylene. 
We saw a model and decided to photo bomb her.

 After the swim, we tried to get a taxi but walked home. We ate at Mos burger.

Day 4 


Today, we went to the beach and played. We saw the same people as yesterday, but there was Max and Tori as well. We swam for a long time, then we found a sand bar! We stayed for hours, and go sun burnt. 




Me and Kyle have known most of them since we where little.

Taiwan 1

After a long plane trip, I finally landed in Taiwan. The first thing I noticed was the heat. It  is summer in Taiwan, so the air is thick.

Day 1
This is the day that I got to Grandma's. It is cooler here because of the air-conditioning and fans. We went to Carrefour and had sushi at sushi express. Then we went shopping and bought lots of food.

 

Day two

Day 2 is today. Today was super fun because we saw our friends, Alanna, Isabel and Joseph. We played higher lower on their iPad. We also went swimming for hours, but it was super fun. Than we had to go home and have dinner. (Mum forgot to take potos, so I can't show you much.)

Going to their house and waking them up!
