Returned from the Taipei trip

Haven't got strength and time to come back to this little piece of piece land - blogger in the past week.  

Me, Jeff and Lucas had been joining the company incentive tour in Taipei, and we stay behind in the city for another two days.  Both me and Lucas were having serious flu and coughing, we could still manage to have fun in the trip, even though we had totally burnt out.  (On the second day, we received wake-up call at 5:45am in the morning, that almost took our lives).

It was a totally interesting experience, especially for Lucas, after all, it was his first overseas trip, his first time to sit in an aeroplane.  People said he would have no memories of these few days ashe is too small, however, I know him well, I am sure the feelings, the excitement had already imprinted in his mind.

I had very good impression to Taiwan from this trip, people are nice and friendly, food is delicious, and you can experience both cosmopolitan and outdoor leisure life within three hours travel distance from the city centre.

Taiwanese just love reading, we can see 誠品書店 in many places, and books are much cheaper than Hong Kong.  We bought a lot of books, one is "THE COMPLETE PEANUTS: 1950 TO 1952" (the Peanuts comics), a discount offered and which is just cost NT$300.

We are planning another trip, this time we wish to bring Linus along.  We missed him terribly, next time we should let him to join us!!

My sons, I want you two to explore the world always, you know what, you two have your own national identity but you are also citizens of this global village, the more you experience others' cultures, the more open-minded you are, and the more happy you will be.
