Off to Taiwan

Before we even knew China was a possibility, Mike and I traveled to Taiwan in the fall of 2011 after we had just gotten engaged. It was time to meet the extended family that lived half way around the world. The trip was great! Besides the fact that I couldn't utter a word of Chinese to anyone...

Well, Grandma isn't happy that we haven't gone back to Taipei to visit her since moving to Shanghai. Hopefully we'll make it up to her with this weekend trip. The tourist spots, thankfully, have been checked off the list so we can focus our efforts on the food -- and family, of course. Wish me luck as my new Chinese skills are put to the real test!
