The morning that we were flying home, we found out our flight had been delayed. We headed to the airport not knowing if the flight was going to be canceled. The girls got to enjoy the Hello Kitty playground in the new terminal. And fortunately, our flight took off before the typhoon hit again. [slideshow]

Flying from Beijing to Taipei, our plane was the last flight to land before the typhoon hit. We made it safely back to the hotel, a little wet and tired from the traffic. But we had to cancel our plans to take the high speed rail down to Taichung to visit Rebecca’s brother.

We made the best of it and went out to see what was open around Taipei. Turned out all the malls were closed, and unfortunately, while we were walking, Elise said she wanted to hold her own umbrella and slipped and fell. We hid-out in a McDonald’s while Rebecca went to get appropriate rain gear. [slideshow]

We got to visit Shintori, one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in Taipei. They always have great presentation and tasty dishes. And if there’s one place to get a relaxing ambience in the middle of a bustling city, this is the place to be. [slideshow]

Here are the studio pictures that we took as a family during our trip to Taiwan this summer. [slideshow]
