Veeve's View of Tamsui

Veeve at the Zoo!

It's hard to believe that we're actually IN Taiwan. It seems like no other family could ever do this. I'm really excited to go shopping. I want clothes - I mostly want the clothes and t-shirts that have funny English on them. I'm also glad that we've started home-cooking so that we can have pancakes and smoothies and some of the dishes that we have at home. Today I tried some really weird sweet noodles - they were like jello-y and sweet. Also, there is a smoothie place we go to with mango-milk that is pretty good.

Some of my favorite places to play in are the park, the ball room, and the swimming pool.

Today we went to a cool play. I thought the music was pretty funny - first it was like banging pots and cans together, then at the fighting scene it was like rock music. After that, we went home, took a nap, and went swimming. Then, for the big finale, we had curry for dinner.

What I really want to remember about Taiwan is the zoo. It was so cool because we got to see an orangutan, lynx, giraffes, hippos, and more. What was also cool is that we saw male lion that was actually awake and roaring. I can't wait to tell all the people back at home.

The thing I miss most about home is my friends, the house that I live in, and our milk! My favorite milk here is probably papaya milk. The regular milk isn't too bad, but it's not as yummy as the milk we have back home.

Taiwan has been pretty fun and I really like it.
