‎2011 Summer 台北遇見张韶涵 (Angela Chang) !

偶像劇- "soap opera is so popular in Asia especially love to watch those young and handsome/beautiful actors and actresses acting in it." 

Today Irene and I are lucky that we stumble into one of the young actresses, 张韶涵 (Angela) , [ the one disguised in big frame glasses and hat ^O^] at Breeze Center. We took couple pictures with her and had a very short conversation.

Mother Tongue - Mandarin!!

Yes, summer is the best time for kids to really focus on speaking/studying their original mother tongue!! For my kids, it is Mandarin!!

We couple friends signed kids up in Taipei Fuhsing Private School for its Chinese Summer camp, yesterday is their first day at school!! The big difference compares to the regular schedule? Like my friend, Isabel's son commented: There is no recess in between classes!!!!!!! lololololololol,.....Their schedule is really intense in 4 weeks but full of fun activities which is not just academic curriculum but swimming, field trip....etc.

I am sure they are learning a lot everyday and enjoy every min. of the challenges!! ^O^

A long time no see friend, Fiona!!
For me, it is def. more fun to do every activity with friends!!

{Thanks to Isabel who told me this educational summer camp so all of us can have a great time in Taipei too!!}

I still packed 4 pairs of shoes with me for this trip.... heels, espadrilles, flip flops and sneakers. 

Well, I couldn't bare the thoughts of "I wish, I should have,.. .."..., can you!!? 

Enjoy summer!

xoxo Rachel

Live, Love, "EAT"!!

Let the day begins with a informative tour!!

No, in Taipei, I don't wear HEELS that much compares to living in USA. 

It is just I walk too much that I don't want to ruin my precious heels. ^O^

I love the spanish chicken the best... you really can taste the full aroma and texture from the dish. 



We totally wiped out after 9 PM.  But considering this is the 4th day after we arrived in Taipei, I think we are doing pretty awesome adjusting ourselves!! So does my hubby and 2 daughters in Indonesia!! ^^


Try some new restaurants!!!
