the best breakfast in the world



The best breakfast in the world is a mixture of chips, jam, chocolate sauce and weird star-shaped thingys, and kiwi fruit.
This is what I have in the morning before my Chinese class. First we have cereal and milk or porridge in the apartment, then we walk over the hill and take a bus to uni. Before we go to our classes we go to a cafe for half an hour and I have this while Mum has a coffee.
Chips with jam...you really should try it some time.
Oh yes, and guess what it's called? The 'Sweet Baby A Breakfast.'

Quiz 2: What could this sign mean?



Any ideas?

Miss Piggy

Here in Taiwan, some people have interesting English names. When my Mum was a teacher here, she had a student called 'Snow' and another called 'Dinosaur'.

One of the teachers at the school that our friend Sarah works at is called 'Teacher Piggy'. Imagine this:

"Class Two, listening."

"Yes, Piggy, listening."

Made us laugh.

Quiz Answer





Here is the answer to last Friday's quiz. Thanks for the great guesses, Ella, Andrea and Sarah. We loved your answers. We're on the lookout for more curious signs.
The sign was at Taipei 101 (the really tall building). There were lots of uniformed guards there to make sure that nobody could sit on the windowsill. Hey, you'd have to like heights to want to sit on the windowsill. The lines make the person look like he or she is about to lift-off!
The other picture is the view from Taipei 101.

Friday's outing

In the afternoon we went to the Taipei Water Park in Gongguan with mum's friend Page. We had a great time. There are 3 slides, and I went down one of them twice. I want to go back there!

Quiz: What does this sign mean?



Anyone? Please post your ideas in 'comments' below.
I will post the answer on Monday.

Taipei 101




Yesterday we went to Taipei 101. It's 508 meters high, and was completed in 2004. It's the tallest building in the world. The elevator is really cool, it takes about 30 seconds to get to the observation desk.

First day in Taipei



We went on the Maokong Gondola yesterday evening. It was dark, so the views were of the city lights rather than the jungly hills and temple, but we enjoyed being the only people in the cable car on the way to the top. It goes over the zoo, so you can hear the animals, and it was a lovely way to end a hectic day.

Here is a photo of the gondola in daylight, and one of me yesterday evening in our gondola.

We saw this big soft toy in the shopping centre in Hong Kong.
