Day 3 and 4

We spent the next two days sight seeing after going to AIT and picking up the visa and passport. We went to the Taiwan Tours trip around Taipei city to see the memorials and museums. It was a good deal because I didn't know where most of these were and we had an air conditioned bus with an escort to bring us around and to photograph us. We also got to do some shopping along the way. In addition, we went to the Shinlin Night Market one evening. It had lots of clothes, shoes, and fun activities for the kids to do. I bought lots of little souveniours and t-shirts and En Yang chose a silk/satin navy blue Chinese outfit which is adorable. Everything was very inexpensive. Both boys continue to be terrific together. En Yang is trying so hard to use his English with us. I have heard, "bathroom", "more", "drink", "hungry", "shorts", "brush teeth", "DS" (to request the little Nintendo DS we bought him), "noodles", and much more. We are so surprised at how much he is absorbing! He is also so huggable and kissable. He not only accepts all of our affection, he just comes up and gives us hugs all of the time. At bedtime, I tuck them in and say "I love you/ Yo hi nee" and he says it too.
