Taipei, Taiwan (Dec 2016)

JJ in TPE (22nd – 28th Dec 2016)

Type: Free & Easy – Littl’ Tots/Kiddy Itinerary

Day -1

Daddy J slides in to our bedroom with his usual rhetoric “LIGHTS-OUT-kids-hush-now-please-sleep-early-flight-tomorrow-no-story-time-tonight” yadda yadda; and we try hard to fall asleep, with him rattling on his usual from-memory or made-up story, and soon dozing off with Mommy Koa and Elsa…

SQ878 gets into TPE slightly past 6pm and we’re quickly tucked into a shuttle bus headed 1.5hours East towards Toucheng township. Its getting dark early since its Winter, and we doze off in the bumpy bus ride towards our destination.

D1 – Yilan/Touceng Farm

We have a quick barbeque dinner and head off to a family activity – making paper lantern which we complete with some help and eventually set flight after penning our wishes and resolutions for the new years 2017!

D2 – Republic of Chocolate Factory and Freshfields Resort/Hotspring

Daddy teams up with T1, and Mummy with T2 for the chocolate making session and we’re making a Christmas Chocolate log cake!

I like marzipan!

Daddy answers a quiz the facilitator asks and gets an extra snowman choc which we then proudly affix to our little masterpiece!

We like the the Freshfields Hotspring Resort which was really nice, with a hot spring bath in the room – akin to the Japanese onsen! We had fun stuffing ourselves with all the log cake, and were making such a racket Yeye, Mahmah and Gugu J heard us from next door! *burps*

D3 – Leofoo Resort Guanshi

Fun signs @ Leofoo Village Theme Park!

“Stepping forward although you have self-confidence” – in the little boy’s room
“No somking, Foods and Drinks on the rid” – at the Flying Horse ride
“The non-arrival dismounts area to strictly forbid to stand fall to dismount” – I have no idea…

After a really fun day at the theme-park, we head back to the Leofoo Village Resort – the renowned safari-styled kids resort with free-roaming safari animals which include giraffes, rhinos, zebras and lemurs! Definitely a hit with the kids!

D4 – Taipei 101/Shilin/Ximenting

Shopping, shopping, and more shopping and eating…

Taipei, Taiwan (Feb 2015)

JJ in TPE (19th – 22nd Feb 2015)

Type: Free & Easy

All smiles on the way to the airport with Mommy Koala and Peppa Pig in tow!

Kids don’t last very long in the flight and doze off after some movies and CHML.

Day 1 – Hanging out at Daan Park Playground

We pretty much spend half a day in this beautiful park!

Kids really enjoyed themselves scampering through the various parts of the very-well-thought-out-design of the play area which included the usual swings (with bucket seats for younger kids which Jo thoroughly enjoyed!), slides, and adjoining ramps and obstacles.

Only problem was because the play area was so huge, both Daddy J and Mummy J had to have eyes on the kids at ALL times, which was made even harder because of the intersections between ramps, slides and rope bridges… i.e. you’ll never know which slide either T1 or T2 would emerge from with all the other kids running helter-skelter in their skedaddle!
